Figure 9.
With reflective confocal microscopy (RCM) and two-photon luminescence (TPL), gadolinium-nanoshells (Gd-NS) offered (A and B) readily apparent contrast enhancement in B16-F10 melanoma tumor tissue ex vivo compared to (C and D) tissue without nanoshells. (B, inset) High magnification imaging with TPL enabled resolution of individual particles.
