Abstract
Fluorescence imaging
is widely used for in vivo imaging and has provided remarkable results. However, tissue
auto fluorescence and external illumination limit the SNR and re solution. Persistent luminescent nanoparticles can emit
afterglow for several minutes to hours after they are excited. Therefore persistent luminescent imaging based on these
materials can circumvent tissue auto fluorescence and external illumination durin g detection and obtain images with high
SNR and resolution. Y 2 O 2 S:Eu:Mg:Ti is a red persistent luminescent material, which has a highly efferent luminescence and
stable chemical property. This work investigates the feasibility of Y 2 O 2 S:Eu:Mg:Ti nanoparticl es in small animal imaging of
lymph node and bio distribution.
