Single molecule blinking and photobleaching separated by wide-field fluorescence microscopy
Single molecule fluorescence detection of Atto590 in poly(vinyl alcohol) was achieved by using a wide-field epifluorescence microscope with CCD-camera detection. Image sequences are obtained from which the time traces of the detected molecules are built. We find a distinctive difference between the...
