Abstract: Owing to the excellent optical properties such as high quantum yield of emission, photo-stability and anti-photobleaching, uorescent quantum dots(QDs) now have been extensively applied in bioscience research. Labeling cells by quantum dots allow long-term observation of the cellular processes. In this paper, we employed both QDs and DiO dye to label cells and thus showed the superior anti-photobleaching property of QDs directly, and also reported the method of application of QDs in observing the damage process of A549 cells induced by particle irradiation, demonstrating the advantage of application of QDs in the radiobiology research.
