Background:

  • Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) traditionally relies on filter-based systems for multicolor detection.
  • Existing filter setups can be complex, limiting spectral range and flexibility.
  • A need exists for more versatile and high-resolution multicolor detection in FCS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and demonstrate a novel filterless multicolor detection unit for FCS.
  • To provide a continuously tunable platform for multicolor separation.
  • To enable high-resolution, quantitative analysis of complex biomolecular dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a grating-based detection unit for FCS.
  • Continuous tunability for multicolor separation across the visible spectrum.
