Abstract
A new multiplexed NIR in vivo imaging is showcased by using quantum dots and NaYF4 :Yb3+,Tm3+ nanoparticles. The ‘temporal’ multiplexing is demonstrated by alternating the excitation wavelengths and unmixing the emissions of different probes. Multiplexed cellular imaging and the cellular trafficking in animal models are shown.Keywords
