1. A method for measuring blood flow in a subject wherein the method comprises:

  • administering to the subject a plurality of microspheres, wherein the microspheres are impregnated with a dye having an excitation and emission spectrum compatible with in vivo or intravital imaging and further, wherein the microspheres have a hydrophobic outer surface;

    illuminating microspheres within the subject with an appropriate wavelength to form illuminated microspheres; and

    observing the illuminated microspheres;

    wherein, the blood flow is measured by detecting the movement of the microspheres in the subject.
