Detection of low quantum yield fluorophores and improved imaging times using metallic nanoparticles

The behavior of a fluorophore near a gold nanoparticle is rationalized by a theoretical description of the parameters that modify the fluorescence emission: nanoparticle-fluorophore distance, fluorescence quantum yield (φ0), and fluorophore absorption and emission spectra, to find optimum conditions...
