A, B: Each organic N compound was conjugated to a green QD via a strong covalent bond between the amino group in the organic N compound and the carboxyl group embedded in the shell of the QD. C, D: We examined each sample in a confocal microscope, and performed three-dimensional scans to verify that the QDs (green) were located in the interior of the hyphae.
