We have used fluorescence nanoscopy for direct imaging of adsorption of individual colloidal quantum dots of diameter ~10 nm (spherical core/shell CdSeS/ZnS semiconductor nanocrystals, functionalized by organic oleic acid ligands) in nanopores of a nuclear filter (a polypropylene track membrane with pores of diameter ~500 nm). We have shown that when a colloidal toluene solution passes through the pores of the membrane, the nanoparticles are completely retained at a depth of 10 μm.
