Luminescence nanothermometry has attracted much attention as a non-contact thermal sensing technique. However, it is not widely explored for in vivo applications owing to the low transparency of tissues for the light to be used. In this study, we performed biological temperature sensing in deep tissues using β-NaYF<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles co-doped with Yb<sup>3+</sup>, Ho<sup>3+</sup>, and Er<sup>3+</sup> (NaYF<sub>4</sub>: Yb<sup>3+</sup>, Ho<sup>3+</sup>, Er<sup>3+</sup> NPs), which displaye ...[more]
