Résumé

Single particle tracking enables nanoscale investigation of cellular processes.  Fluorescent nanodiamond contains nitrogen-vacancy centers as photostable emitters.  Background-free imaging and tracking are achievable with nitrogen-vacancy centers.  Fluorescent nanodiamonds are suitable for long-term tracking in whole organisms.
