Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Semiconductor nanocrystals can be observed by optical and electron microscopies. Therefore, in this research, in order to determine common coordinates between different images of the microscopies using polymorphic semiconductor nanocrystals, we carried out the research with the following three steps. 1) In the first step, we found the conditions for controling the size and shape of three polymorphic semiconductor nanocrystals. 2) In the second step, we investigated a method to quantitfy the degree of incorporation of polymorphic semiconductor nanocrystals into cells. 3) In the third step, we established a method for automatically analyzing the size and shape of many polymorphic semiconductor nanocrystals in the electron microscopy images.
