Abstract
Semiconductor nanocrystals (SNCs) are a nano-sized inorganic material. Due to the quantum confinement effect, these crystals exhibit unique optical and electrical properties. This chapter focuses on biological applications of SNCs, ranging from in vitro single-molecule tracking to in vivo fluorescence imaging. The following fundamental properties and technical procedures related to SNCs are also described: structures of SNCs, synthetic procedures and shape control of SNCs, preparation methods of water-soluble SNCs, and conjugation methods of biomolecules.Entities:
