Optical contrasts in microscopy are sensitive to light polarization, whose interaction with
molecular dipoles provides an important lever for probing molecular orientation. Polarization …

This article surveys the recent application of optical Fourier processing to the long-
established but still expanding field of single-molecule imaging and microscopy. A variety of …

We present an experimental analysis of the plasmonic scattering properties of gold
nanoparticles controllably placed nanometers away from a gold metal film. We show that the …

Lipid membranes are found in most intracellular organelles, and their heterogeneities play
an essential role in regulating the organelles' biochemical functionalities. Here we report a …

Inorganic carbon nanomaterials, also called carbon nanodots, exhibit a strong
photoluminescence with unusual properties and, thus, have been the focus of intense …

Recently, single molecule-based superresolution fluorescence microscopy has surpassed
the diffraction limit to improve resolution to the order of 20 nm or better. These methods …

Recent advances in optical microscopy instrumentation and processing techniques have led
to imaging that both breaks the diffraction barrier and enables sub-pixel resolution. This …

This tutorial review summarizes the most important results and developments in the field of
polymer science by means of single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy (SMFS) at ambient …

The discovery of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) has revolutionized our ability to
measure inter-and intramolecular distances on the nanometre scale using fluorescence …

We investigate the cooperative effect of molecular tilt and defocus on fluorophore
localization by centroid calculation in far-field superresolution microscopy based on …
