Problems solved by technology

To date, common polarizing microscopes have not been used experimentally to observe individual nanoparticles, mainly because: on the one hand, there is less and less awareness of materials analysis using polarizing microscopy due to the existence of other microscopic imaging techniques; on the other hand, , the nanoparticles are all in the nanometer scale, because the size is too small, if the nanomaterials do not have very strong optical properties, it is difficult to be observed

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for cell imaging by adopting a polarized light microscope to observe nano particles; a single gold nanorod is observed by adopting the polarized light microscope; the polarized light microscope is found to be capable of selective imaging of an anisotropic nano material; under the polarized light microscope, scattering light spots of the gold nanorod has smaller size, the background value of imaging can be significantly reduced, and accordingly, the signal-to-noise ratio of an image is improved by at least 3 times or more. Due to the unique optical properties, the anisotropic nano material and the polarized light microscope have great application potentiality in imaging and detection of cancer cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical detection, in particular to a method for observing nanoparticles with a polarizing microscope for cell imaging. Background technique [0002] In recent years, gold nanorods (GNRs) have aroused in-depth research interests of scientists and have been widely promoted and applied. In the field of imaging, many optical properties of gold nanorods have been exploited to develop in vivo and in vitro imaging techniques. For example, gold nanosensors have very high optical stability and high optical absorption and scattering efficiencies due to the surface plasmon resonance effect. In fact, they have higher light absorption and scattering cross-sectional areas than other shapes of nanorod materials. The long-axis plasmon resonance absorption peak of gold nanorods can be easily adjusted from the visible region to the near-infrared region by changing the aspect ratio (ratio of length and diameter), and bio...
