Highly luminescent, stable, and biocompatible 3C-SiC quantum dots (QDs) with no protective shells have been applied for fluorescence imaging of biological living cells. Structural and luminescent properties of the 3C-SiC QDs are described. Marking of the living cells with such QDs highlights the penetration, accumulation, and heterogeneous distribution of the QDs inside the intracellular space.
