AB  - Carbon Dots (CDs) are a new promising type of small (5 nm), biocompatible and 
      multicolor luminescent nanoparticle. Here, we demonstrate super-resolution 
      imaging of CDs at the nanoscale through STimulated Emission Depletion (STED) 
      microscopy. In addition, we report the application of STED for detection of CD 
      localization in both fixed and living cells, achieving a spatial resolution down 
      to 30 nm, far below the diffraction limit, showing great promise for high 
      resolution visualization of cellular dynamics.
