About

• Fluorescent Nanodiamonds (FNDs) are nanometre-sized diamonds made of carbon nanoparticles. 
• They are produced in a process that involves high temperature and high pressure.

• FNDs are stable under light and aren’t toxic to living things, so they have many applications in high-resolution imaging, microscale temperature sensing, and correlative microscopy, among others. 
• In biology, scientists use FNDs to track cells and their progeny over long periods.
