研究目的
Investigating the feasibility of direct imaging of adsorption of individual colloidal quantum dots in nanopores of a nuclear filter using fluorescence nanoscopy.
研究成果
The feasibility of direct imaging of ultra? ltration of semiconductor nanocrystals, functionalized by ligand shells, from a colloidal toluene solution in nanopores of a track membrane, using super-resolved ? uorescence spectroscopy, has been demonstrated. Fluorescent images of individual nanocrystals (quantum dots) and their agglomerates were recorded at different depths along the thickness of a track membrane, after ultra? ltration and complete evaporation of the solvent.
研究不足
The technique is limited by the resolution of the optical microscope and the signal-to-noise ratio of the detected luminescence. The axial spatial coordinate cannot be determined to high accuracy from analysis of the diffraction image for a single point source.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Fluorescence nanoscopy was used for direct imaging of adsorption of individual colloidal quantum dots in nanopores.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Colloidal quantum dots (CdSeS/ZnS, diameter ~6 nm) and polypropylene track membranes with pores of diameter ~500 nm were used.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Melles Griot 40 ×
4:6NA microscope objective, piezoelectric motion-controlled translator with EG100 Stage Controller, single-frequency continuous-wave Coherent Verdi V6 laser, dichroic mirror/beamsplitter (Thorlabs DMLP605), interference filters (Thorlabs FELH 600, Semrock SR628/32), ultrasensitive cooled electron multiplying CCD camera (Andor iXon Ultra EMCCD). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
A colloidal solution of quantum dots was passed through a propylene membrane, and the process was imaged at different focal depths.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data was processed using special software based on an original image recognition algorithm, including preliminary ? ltering of the noise background, searching for local intensity maxima, and approximation of the localized images using the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm.
