TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that surfactant-free silicon nanoparticles of a predefined and narrow (σ < 10 nm) size range can be selectively immobilized on a substrate by optical printing from a polydisperse colloidal suspension.

TL;DR: The proof-of-principle for IHC based on surface-enhanced coherent Raman scattering for contrast generation is demonstrated and antibody-labeled metallic nanoshells in conjunction with surface- enhanced coherent anti-Stokes Raman scatter microscopy are employed for the selective, sensitive, and rapid localization of the basal cell protein p63 in normal prostate tissue.

TL;DR: The role of SERS labels with single‐particle sensitivity in immuno‐SERS microscopy is discussed, and it is demonstrated that small glass‐coated clusters (dimers and trimers) of gold nanospheres exhibit the desired single‐ particle SERS sensitivity, even at acquisition times as short as 30 msec per pixel, while monomers do not.

TL;DR: An implementation of anti-Stokes thermometry that enables the in situ photothermal characterization of individual nanoparticles (NPs) from a single hyperspectral photoluminescence confocal image and demonstrates that interfacial thermal resistances play a very significant role in nanoscopic systems, and emphasize the need for in situ experimental thermometry techniques.
