Abstract
The fluorescence-enhanced bead of the present invention is intended to achieve a larger surface area and easy treatment, by making a minute spherical shape material into a bead by applying coating similar to fluorescence-enhanced chips onto the surface of the spherical shape material. That is, metal layer is formed on a spherical shape nucleus and a dielectric layer is formed on this metal layer. This easily enhances the intensity of fluorescence generated from a fluorescent material on the surface of this dielectric layer.
Claims6
A fluorescence-enhanced bead which is obtained by forming metal layer on a spherical shape nucleus and forming a dielectric layer on the surface of this metal layer, and which can enhance the intensity of fluorescence generated from a fluorescent material distributed on this dielectric layer.
