postheadericon Fluorescent nanotubes used for imaging of internal organs

An enhanced color image of fluorescence from single-walled carbon nanotubes (right) shows ...

Mice are often used as laboratory models, if the testing of new drugs and fluorescent dyes are sometimes injected into their bodies, so that researchers better see how these drugs are preceded by their systems. Unfortunately, the images will begin this process, are weakening, when imaging a little more than a few millimeters below the skin. Scientists at Stanford University have now developed a system, the fluorescent carbon nanotubes used to clear color images of organs that lie within centimeters of a mouse 's thought the body produce ...
