Abstract
FLIMaging nanoparticle degradation: semiconductor and metal nanoparticle degradation has been observed in live cells over 3 d via the change of the characteristic luminescence lifetime using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM). Thus, FLIM is a simple yet robust tool to examine the intracellular stability of photoluminescent nanoparticles in live cells, tissues, and organisms.
