We developed a new prism-based system for multicolor fluorescence spectroscopy, enabling sensitive detection of molecular interactions. This advanced technique allows simultaneous analysis of multiple dyes for studying molecular dynamics.

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Spectroscopy
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a powerful technique for studying molecular dynamics.
  • Multicolor FCS requires spectral separation of fluorescence signals, which can be challenging.
  • Existing methods may suffer from focal volume mismatch and limited optical stability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and implement a novel prism-based detection system for multicolor fluorescence (cross) correlation spectroscopy.
  • To achieve simultaneous excitation and spectral separation of multiple fluorescent dyes.
  • To demonstrate the system's capability for analyzing molecular dynamics and interactions with high sensitivity.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a single laser wavelength for simultaneous excitation of multiple dyes with distinct emission spectra.
