Sumario:	The article focuses on the development of semiconducting nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) which possess superior brightness and photostability. QDs have not yet been engineered for microscopic photoactivation. It notes that photoactivatable organic fluorophores and fluorescent proteins (FPs) were adopted for cellular imaging and vital for increasing temporal and spatial resolution. Research reveals that caging depending on QD emission is observed through visible spectrum into near-infrared (nIR).
