Microscopy of gold nanoshells in tumors using two-photon induced photoluminescence

We report the nonlinear photo-physical properties of silica/gold nanoshells (NS) and demonstrate their application as biological imaging agents. We present images of the microscopic distribution of nanoshells in murine tumors using NIR laser scanning multi-photon microscopy.
