Conventional downconversion fluorescence labels with ultraviolet (UV) or short wavelength excitation suffer from the presence of autofluorescence, low signal-to-noise ratio and incident photodamage to living organisms. This chapter focuses on upconverting fluorescent nanoparticles with excitation in near-infrared region. This has several advantages including very low autofluorescence, absence of photodamage to living organisms, high detection sensitivity and high light penetration depth. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
