Abstract :
In this report we tried out to use semiconductor zinc oxide (ZnO) and it´s coated by titanium oxide (TiO2) core-shell quantum dots (QDs) to label the tumor and normal tissue of human colorectal. We had compared the both fluorescence image of them to identify the cancer from normal tissue. The result showing that the ZnO/TiO2 can identify the cancer area clearly.
