Abstract

Quantum dots (QDs) are nanoparticles with fluorescent properties that offer advantages over organic fluorophores. As a result, QDs have found wide application in biological imaging. In this introduction we discuss the approaches for using QDs for labeling and imaging individual cells and cellular processes in live cells both in vivo and in culture.
