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...

description Single molecule fluorescence detection of Atto590 in poly(vinyl alcohol) was achieved by using a wide-field epifluorescence microscope with CCD-camera detection.

We find a distinctive difference between the time evolution of the fluorescence originating from the molecules detected in the first image of the sequence compared to the time evolution of the fluorescence of the molecules detected in each image of the sequence. Atto590 shows very long blinking times and photobleaching and photoblinking that are both quadratically dependent on the irradiation power density.
