Abstract

Clear sight: The upconversion emission spectra of KMnF 3 nanocrystals co-doped with Yb/Er (18:2 mol %; see picture) and Yb/Ho (18:2 mol %) reveal strong single-band emissions. The application of this pure, single-band emission for deep-tissue imaging is demonstrated. Copyright © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
