Ratiometric optical nanoprobes enable accurate molecular detection and imaging

TL;DR: This review elaborates upon existing optical nanoprobes that exploit ratiometric measurements for improved sensing and imaging, including fluorescence, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and photoacoustic nanoprops, and their potential biomedical applications for targeting specific biomolecule populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phototoxicity in live fluorescence microscopy, and how to avoid it.

TL;DR: It is argued that phototoxicity needs increased attention from researchers when designing experiments, and when evaluating research findings, because there are often subtler consequences of illumination that are imperceptible when only the morphology of samples is examined.
