Abstract
In the last chapter of the book we introduce the latest applications and developments of semiconductor spectroscopy in the field of bio-nano-photonics where semiconductor colloidal quantum dots are researched and developed as biomarkers using standard absorbance, fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence (in ns time domain), fluorescence blinking (ms time domain) spectra, as well as bioimaging.
