SUMMARY:

Fluorescent Nanodiamonds as Fiducial
Markers for Microscopy
Description of Technology
The invention relates to fluorescent
nanodiamonds (FNDs) and their uses as
fiducial markers for microscopy. FNDs
are bright fluorescent probes that do not
blink or bleach and have broad

fluorescence excitation and emission
peaks. The fluorescence intensity can be
readily controlled by the size of the
FND, the number of fluorescent centers
produced in the nanodiamonds, or in
situ through the application of a weak
magnetic field. The particular advantage
of the FND compositions of this
invention are that they are particularly
useful for extended imaging of a single
sample over time periods that can be as
long as a week or more. In an exemplary
embodiment, FNDs are immobilized in
a substrate that are coated with an inert
top coating, like silicon dioxide, or
transparent polymer (e.g. poly-L-lysine,
poly-L-arginine, or siloxanes).
Generally, any suitable methods known
for surface functionalization of the
substrate can be used to make the
composition. In another aspect of this
invention, the inventors designed
software for super-resolution imaging
correction method is employed to
precisely determine the position
coordinates of each of a set of FNDs in
a plurality of images by using Gaussian
fitting of the point spread function
comprises each of the FNDs in the
plurality of images. The calculated
correction is then used to displace each
image to align the coordinates of the
FNDs. The positions of the FNDs can be
tracked with sub-nanometer precision
and residual drift can be reduced to the
nanometer scale over hundreds of hours
of tracking.

were received. The purpose of this
notice is to allow an additional 30 days
for public comment. The National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of
Health, may not conduct or sponsor,
and the respondent is not required to
respond to, an information collection
that has been extended, revised, or
implemented on or after October 1,
1995, unless it displays a currently valid
OMB control number.
Direct Comments to OMB: Written
comments and/or suggestions regarding
the item(s) contained in this notice,
especially regarding the estimated
public burden and associated response
time, should be directed to the: Office
of Management and Budget, Office of
Regulatory Affairs, OIRA_submission@

Attention: NIH Desk Officer.
DATES: Comment Due Date: Comments
regarding this information collection are
best assured of having their full effect if
received within 30 days of the date of
this publication.

Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: There are no changes being
requested for this submission. The
proposed information collection activity
provides a means to garner qualitative
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner, in

79349

accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving service
delivery. By qualitative feedback we
mean information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide information
about the NIAID’s customer or
stakeholder perceptions, experiences
and expectations, provide an early
warning of issues with service, or focus
attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
NIAID and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
16,100.
