Abstract

In recent years, the design of optical nanoprobes has achieved dramatic advances and certain nanosensors have been successfully applied to biological analysis and imaging. Still, challenges of optical nanoprobes also remain, such as increasing sensing performance for real environmental and clinical samples, the design and application of multifunctional nanoplatforms, and biocompatibility research.
