Quantum dot/methylene blue FRET mediated NIR fluorescent nanomicelles with large Stokes shift for bioimaging.
Here we present a novel large Stokes shifting NIR fluorescent nanomicelle through the encapsulation of a quantum dot/methylene blue FRET pair, which is employed as an excellent contrast reagent for NIR fluorescence bioimaging.
