Abstract:Single-particle tracking (SPT) is a powerful technique to elucidate the behavior of biomolecules inside or on the surface of living cells in real time. SPT is based on labeling the component of interest with a phosphor or a light-scattering gold nanoparticle, and visualizing its motion by real time microscopy. However, SPT generally suffers from suboptimal performance of phosphors. For example, fluorescent dyes have poor photostability, while quantum dots suffer from sporadic blinking that hampers track acquis… Show more
