Practical device applications range from low-threshold lasers to solar cells and biological imaging and tracking.

This tends to hinder progress for engineers and scientists who study single colloidal nanocrystals and try to use their fluorescent properties for biological imaging or lasing.

In live-cell biological imaging, smart lighting could make it possible to coordinate intensity, wavelength, and polarization with image scanning to reveal a new wealth of features.

It will enable biological imaging such as cell and DNA with a strong benefit of magnifying sub-diffraction resolution into far-field.

Quantum dots are popular alternatives to organic dyes as fluorescent labels for biological imaging and sensing due to their small size, tuneable emission, and photostability.

A parallel developmental program advanced laboratory X-ray lasers for biological imaging and the creation of 3D holograms of living organisms.

Zurr specialises in video production and biological and digital imaging.

Since 2004, six network research programs have been launched in medical genetics, mathematics, medical and biological imaging, as well as bioinformatics, with nearly 100 researchers involved in each.

- medical or biological imaging - combining knowledge of a physical phenomenon (for example, sound, radiation or magnetism) with electronic processing, analysis and display.

Development of applications incorporating semiconductor nanoparticles to be used in the next generation of products, such as display technology, lighting, solar cells and biological imaging; see quantum dots.
