Problems solved by technology

At present, most of the fluorescent groups commonly used in immunofluorescence experiments are organic fluorescent dyes. Organic fluorescent dyes not only have poor photochemical stability, but also are prone to photolysis and photobleaching, which is very unfavorable for long-term preservation of biological samples (cells or tissue slices). Observed

[0052] In the oleic acid / 1-octadecene (v:v=8:15, unit: mL) system, add 5ml of 0.2mol / L (n=1mmol) Ln(CH3CO2)3(Ln=Y:Yb:Tm =74:18:8) solution. Expose and heat to 150°C, and stir for 40 minutes. After cooling down to room temperature, 10ml 0.4mol / L NH4-methanol solution and 2.5ml 1mol / L NaOH-methanol solution were added dropwise, and the water bath was kept at 40°C and stirred for 2h. Then the water bath was removed, and the system was heated to 100°C and vacuumed for 30 minutes to completely remove methanol. After the vacuuming was completed, the temp...

Embodiment 2

[0063] Applying the up-conversion super-resolution imaging nanoprobe described in Example 1 to fluorescence super-resolution imaging, the following imaging method can be used: the near-infrared depleted light is modulated into a hollow beam with a spatial phase modulation plate, and collimated with the excitation beam. After yoke focusing, rare earth-doped upconversion nanoparticles and their labeling are applied to cell immunofluorescence imaging. Based on this microscopic imaging method, a super-resolution optical microscopic imaging system consisting of an excitation light generation module, a loss light generation module, a dichroic mirror, a multiphoton microscopic scanning module and a photodetection module is built on the basis of existing technologies , to obtain low-cost, low-complexity, high-resolution, simple and effective real-time dynamic three-dimensional images.

Abstract

The invention discloses an upconversion super-resolution imaging nanoprobe as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The upconversion super-resolution imaging nanoprobe has a core@shellstructure. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing rare-earth upconversion nano-particles with controllable particle size and excellent dispersion property by adopting a solvothermal method; performing surface modification by polyacrylic acid; and finally performing protein modification. The upconversion super-resolution imaging nanoprobe is applied to immunofluorescent labeling of a subcellular structure of cells, so that fluorescent super-resolution imaging of the subcellular structure is realized. Compared with the traditional fluorescein-based super-resolution optical imaging method, the method disclosed by the invention is a fluorescence zero-bleaching and zero-flicker super-resolution microscopic imaging method based on the upconversion super-resolution imaging nanoprobe, and biological samples can be observed for a long time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical fields of fluorescence microscopic imaging and immunofluorescence, and in particular relates to an up-conversion super-resolution imaging nanoprobe, and a preparation method and application of the probe. Background technique [0002] According to the German scientist Abbe, the diffraction resolution limit was deduced for the first time based on the diffraction theory, that is, the distance between two points that can be optically resolved is about half of the wavelength of the incident light. Therefore, the resolution of optical fluorescence imaging technology has been limited to around 200nm. This obviously cannot satisfy scientists' observation and research on submicroscopic structures. Therefore, in recent years, a variety of fluorescence imaging techniques that break the optical diffraction limit have been proposed and used. These fluorescence imaging techniques that break the optical diffraction limit are ca...
