Abstract
We demonstrate that individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be visualized with fluorescence microscopy through noncovalent labeling with conventional fluorophores. Reversal of contrast in fluorescence imaging of the CNTs was observed when performing labeling procedure in a nonpolar solvent. Our results are consistent with a CNT-fluorophore affinity mediated by hydrophobic interaction. The reverse-contrast images also provide clear indication of nanotube location. © 2003 American Institute of Physics
