In the last few decades, noble metal nanoparticles (MNP) have been widely used as
imaging probes, in the field of bio-imaging, due to their localized surface plasmon …

We have built and characterized the operation and performance of a surface plasmon
resonance microscope that uses the rotation of an interference filter to vary the imaging …

We introduce a high resolution scanning surface plasmon microscope for long term imaging
of living adherent mouse myoblast cells. The coupling of a high numerical aperture objective …

Single molecule labeling, cancer treatment, enhancement of non-linear optical effects, or
light guiding have demanded much attention from the scientific community, and as a …

Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or some other
type of energy. Practically, it occurs when electrons of a substance relax to their ground state …

Near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) is a powerful tool for study of the nanoscale
information of objects by measuring their near-field electric field distributions. The near-field …

The distance dependent interactions between individual noble metal nanoparticles enable
active plasmonic nanostructures with applications in microscopy, sensing and imaging. If …

This paper demonstrates the first combination for wide-field surface plasmon (SP) phase
microscopy and SP-enhanced fluorescence microscopy to image living cells' contacts on the …

The nanometer scale is where the biological and materials sciences converge. As human
machines and devices shrink to the size of biomolecules, scientists need tools by which to …
