Feasibility of Silicon Quantum Dots as a Biomarker for the Bioimaging of Tear Film

Feasibility of Silicon Quantum Dots as a Biomarker for the Bioimaging of Tear Film

This study investigated the fluorescence and biocompatibility of hydrophilic silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) that are doped with scandium (Sc-SiQDs), copper (Cu-SiQDs), and zinc (Zn-SiQDs), indicating their feasibility for the bioimaging of tear film. SiQDs were investigated for fluorescence emission b...
