All-dielectric nanoparticles have been recently emerged as unique components for biophotonics and drug delivery due to their resonant interaction with light providing the Raman thermometry and optical field enhancement. Here we report on the light induced heating the optically resonant silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) up to 450 K, which were used to modify organic polymer based microcontainers. Moreover Si NPs were successfully employed for the imaging of intracellular compartments HeLa cells. The results will facilitate biocompatible usage of all-dielectric nanoparticles in medicine.
