    Abstract:

    We have observed whispering gallery modes in the inelastic emission from a 9.8 microm polystyrene bead coated with a monolayer of AlexaFluor 488 dye. Using a separate near-IR trapping laser and an Ar+ excitation laser enables us to isolate and study a single dye-coated bead in a colloidal suspension without causing any bead damage.

    Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

    Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been developed.
