We review the use of luminescent nanoparticles in super-resolution imaging and single-
molecule tracking, and showcase novel approaches to super-resolution imaging that …

Fluorescence bioimaging is a powerful, versatile, method for investigating, both in vivo and
in vitro, the complex structures and functions of living organisms in real time and space, also …

Photoluminescent nanosized allotropes of carbon have attracted considerable interest
because of their diverse optical properties depending on their crystal structure, size, and …

Stefan W. Hell received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2014 “for the development of super‐
resolved fluorescence microscopy”, together with Eric Betzig and William Moerner. With the …

Traditional objective lenses in modern microscopy, based on the refraction of light, are
restricted by the Rayleigh diffraction limit. The existing methods to overcome this limit can be …

As technology advances, electrical devices such as smartphones have become more and
more compact, leading to a demand for the continuous miniaturization of optical …

Probing the nature of nanocrystalline materials such as the surface state, crystal structure,
morphology, composition, optical and magnetic characteristics is a crucial step in …

The interaction between light and tissue such as absorption and scattering limits the
penetration depth and spatiotemporal resolution of in vivo fluorescence bioimaging in a …

The majority of studies of the living cell rely on capturing images using fluorescence
microscopy. Unfortunately, for centuries, diffraction of light was limiting the spatial resolution …

The field of fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) has advanced greatly over the past few
