Chain-like gold nanoparticle clusters for multimodal photoacoustic microscopy and optical coherence tomography enhanced molecular imaging
Abstract
This manuscript presents ultrapure chain-like gold nanoparticle clusters with red shifted absorption and shows their potential for in vivo imaging in living rabbits. The nanoparticles demonstrate a 17-fold increase in photoacoustic microscopy signal and 176% increase in optical coherence tomography signal.
