These are some cool pictures of cells glowing due to the quantum dots that were bonded to them.

Picture of a cancer cell.
Exponential Electron flow, in a micron sized quantum dot.
 
Micrograph of pyramid-shaped quantum dots grown from indium, gallium, and arsenic. Each dot is about 20 nanometers wide and 8 nanometers in height.
