Several types of nanoparticles are commonly used in histology: - Gold Nanoparticles: Known for their excellent biocompatibility and strong electron density, these are often used in electron microscopy. - Quantum Dots: Semiconductor nanocrystals that exhibit size-tunable fluorescence, ideal for multiplex imaging. - Iron Oxide Nanoparticles: Magnetic nanoparticles used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and as contrast agents. - Silica Nanoparticles: Versatile nanoparticles used for drug delivery and bio-imaging.
