Imaging of enzyme activity is mainly carried out with fluorescence probes. However, fluorescent light barely penetrates tissues, so larger samples like whole organs cannot be mapped in 3D.

Sensors and probes are molecules that report the presence of specific ions, molecules or molecular events in vitro or in cells by communicating a measurable signal, often a light-based readout.

Semiconductor quantum dots that are engineered to have both fluorescent and paramagnetic properties offer great potential as biological probes for imaging cellular activity. However, before such ...
