Upconversion nanoparticles for bioimaging

Fluorescent labeling is a widely used indispensable tool in biology. Conventional downconversion fluorescence labels with ultraviolet or short-wavelength excitation suffer from autofluorescence, low signal-to-noise ratio, and incident photo damage to living organisms. However, upconverting fluoresce...
