Small photostable photoswitchable quantum dots as nanotools for live cell imaging

We recently reported a novel surface architecture for the generation of biocompatible and stable photoswitchable quantum dots (psQDs). The system is based on Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) from a QD donor to diheteroarylethenes photochromic (PC) acceptors (pcFRET). The PC molecules are lin...
