Provided is a particle which can stably hold a dye in itself even in an aqueous solution such as serum, in order to solve such a problem of a particle containing ICG, which has been conventionally used in a contrast agent or the like, that the ICG is a dye having a hydrophilic functional group and hence the ICG leaks out of the particle in an aqueous solution such as serum.
