Reversible molecular photoswitches: a key technology for nanoscience and fluorescence imaging.
I n recent years, molecular switches have attracted considerable interest because they hold great promises as molecular electronic and photonic devices. In contrast to commonplace switches that turn electric appliances on and off, molecular switches enable the storage of information on a molecular level, and their application in nanotechnology, biomedicine, and computer chip design opens up who...
متن کاملMultimodal fluorescence modulation using molecular photoswitches and upconverting nanoparticles.
The intensity and colour of the light emitted from upconverting nanoparticles is controlled by the state of photoresponsive dithienylethene ligands decorated onto the surface of the nanoparticles. By selectively activating one or both ligands in a mixed, 3-component system, a multimodal read-out of the emitted light is achieved.
متن کاملImages in NanoScience/Technology
This essay explores what it means to see and how contemporary technology is changing the tools and the methods of the way we perceive. The widespread desire for effective scientific visualization along with increasing sensitivity to popular attention has created a reckless culture of image manipulation. Scientists, illustrators, and artists take broad license in how they manipulate images to th...
متن کاملFluorescence molecular imaging.
There is a wealth of new fluorescent reporter technologies for tagging of many cellular and subcellular processes in vivo. This imposed contrast is now captured with an increasing number of available imaging methods that offer new ways to visualize and quantify fluorescent markers distributed in tissues. This is an evolving field of imaging sciences that has already achieved major advances but ...
متن کاملA Fluorescence Imaging Technology for Accurate Diagnosis of Cancer
Shinichi TSUNODA Research Center for Glycoscience e-mail: [email protected] AIST Today Vol. 2, No. 12 (2002) 19 In these post-genomic era, the mechanism of various diseases, especially cancer, have been understood at molecular level. As cancer is established to be caused by genetic alterations, it is expected to achieve the accurate diagnosis for each cancer based on the genetic infor...
