Quantum dots for multiplexed detection and characterisation of prostate cancer cells using a scanning near-field optical microscope.

In this study scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) has been utilised in conjunction with quantum dot labelling to interrogate the biomolecular composition of cell membranes.The technique overcomes the limits of optical diffraction found in standard fluorescence microscopy and also yields vital topographic information.The technique has been
