1. A population of hydrogel particles, each hydrogel particle comprising:
(i) a polymer comprising a polymerized monomer and a co-monomer;
(ii) one or more biomolecules; and
(iii) a nanoparticle encapsulated within the hydrogel,
wherein the population hydrogel particles has an optical property that is substantially similar to a corresponding property of a target cell, the optical property provided by the co-monomer, a ratio of monomer to co-monomer, or the encapsulated nanoparticle.
