Biofunctional nanorods are developed to specifically target cancer cells. The cervical cancer cells, HeLa cells, are labeled by these biofunctional gold nanorods. Those cancer cells can be detected by a multi-photon-excited photoluminescence endomicroscope, which proves that the cancers can be in vivo diagnosed by using biofunctional gold nanorods with nonlinear endomicroscopy.
