Proceedings of COLOQ'10 - 10ème COlloque sur les Lasers et l'Optique Quantique, Grenoble, July 2007We present preliminary results showing the potential of diamond nanoparticles with size <50 nm as photoluminescent nanoprobes (i) for biological applications like biomolecule tracking in living cell and (ii) for serving as stable point-like emitters attached at the tip apex of a near-field optical microscope to achieve enhanced spatial resolution
