Bioinert gold nanoparticles of various shapes and functionalities are widely accepted as contrast agents (CAs) for several modalities of imaging, viz., electron microscopy, computerized tomography (CT), X-ray and photoacoustic (PA) imaging. However, testing of novel compact-imaging probes for ocular...
