  • Coatings of Semiconductor Quantum Dots for Improved Visibility of Electrodes and Pipettes
    Publication number: 20150147803
    Abstract: A glass pipette such as an electrode for electrophysiological recording is coated with quantum dots. This greatly aids the ability to observe the glass pipette, particular in tissue as the quantum dots provide an excellent performance under two-photon illumination used to visualize objects at depths of hundreds of microns.
