I created a fluorescent dye enough bright for the non-invasive imaging of mice using quantum dots. I constructed a high-contrast imaging system and succeeded in non-invasive observation of neutrophil labeled by the quantum dots in mouse ear. Fast vesicle movements inside the neutrophils were also able to be observed and were analyzed. I constructed a new microscope that enables us to measure momentum of the particle that has an undetermined form. Using the system, I measured that vesicles in Hela cell were transported with 2-38 pN force.
