  • Coatings of semiconductor quantum dots for improved visibility of electrodes and pipettes
    Patent number: 9880149
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 5, 2014
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2018
    Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
