Abstract: Over the past few years, fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) have been recognized as potential fluorophores for use in bioimaging, owing to their unique and attractive chemical and particularly spectral properties. The source material for their preparation, synthetic nanodiamond (ND), is non-expensive and commercially available. Notably, NDs have the highest biocompatibility of all carbon nanomaterials and their surface can be chemically modified by various techniques. FNDs are capable of fluorescing with almost quantitative quantum yields from point defects of crystall lattice - nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. In particular, the long-wavelength emission, high brightness, no photobleaching, no photoblinking, and an exceptional resistance to chemical degradation make them almost ideal core for development of fluorescent bioimaging probes.
