Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy01:37

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

7.0K
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...

Fluorescence and Phosphorescence: Instrumentation

641
Fluorometers and spectrofluorometers are two types of instruments used for measuring molecular fluorescence. These instruments differ in how they select excitation and emission wavelengths and the type of light sources they utilize. Fluorometers use absorption interference filters to choose excitation and emission wavelengths. The excitation source in a fluorometer is typically a low-pressure mercury vapor lamp that emits intense lines distributed throughout the ultraviolet and visible regions.

Variables Affecting Phosphorescence and Fluorescence

527
Fluorescence and phosphorescence are essential phenomena in fields like analytical chemistry, biological imaging, and materials science, where they detect molecular properties and visualize cellular structures. Understanding the variables that influence these luminescent behaviors is crucial for maximizing accuracy and efficiency in their applications. These variables can broadly be grouped into chemical structure, solvent properties, and external conditions, each playing a distinct role in...

Photoluminescence: Fluorescence and Phosphorescence

2.1K
Photoluminescence is a process where a molecule absorbs light energy and re-emits it in the form of light. This phenomenon occurs when a substance absorbs photons, promoting its electrons to higher energy level excited states, followed by a relaxation process in which the electrons return to their original ground state energy levels and emit light. Photoluminescence is widely observed in various materials, including semiconductors, and organic and inorganic compounds.

Area of Science:

  • Optoelectronics and Photonics
  • Materials Science
  • Biomedical Imaging and Sensing

Background:

  • Dual fluorescence-phosphorescence emission is crucial for advanced applications but hindered by the "dark state" of phosphorescence at room temperature.
  • The "dark state" arises from spin-forbidden transitions and rapid non-radiative decay of triplet states, limiting phosphorescence efficiency.

  • To achieve efficient luminescent harvesting of dark phosphorescence processes.
  • To enable tunable dual fluorescence-phosphorescence emission in a single system.
  • To explore plasmonic tailoring of molecular emission for optoelectronics and biomedicine.

Main Methods:

  • Coupling singlet-triplet molecular emitters with a rationally designed plasmonic cavity.
  • Utilizing the Purcell enhancement effect to overcome triplet forbidden transitions.
  • Employing spectral analysis and theoretical simulations for wavelength tailoring.

Main Results:

  • Achieved over 1000-fold Purcell enhancement, effectively harvesting dark phosphorescence.
  • Enabled radiation enhancement with selectable emission wavelengths, from visible to near-infrared.
  • Demonstrated intelligent tailoring of fluorescence-phosphorescence peak positions.

Conclusions:

  • Plasmonic cavities can effectively enhance and control phosphorescence emission, overcoming inherent limitations.
  • This approach provides a new pathway for developing advanced optoelectronic and biomedical devices.
  • The study advances plasmon-tailored spectroscopy for fluorescence-phosphorescence applications.
