Virtual Supercritical Angle Fluorescence Microscopy for Real Time Membrane Imaging
We present an alternative full field imaging technique based on Supercritical Angle Fluorescence (SAF). When fluorescent emitters are placed in the vicinity of the glass slide, their near-field components become propagative at supercritical angles. This supercritical emission decays sharply the fluorophore/surface distance d with a characteristic decay length of about 100 nm. Selecting the supe...
متن کاملFast and Sensitive Interferon-γ Assay Using Supercritical Angle Fluorescence
We present an immunoassay for Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) with a limit of detection of 1.9 pM (30 pg/mL) and a linear concentration range spanning three orders of magnitude. The developed one-step assay takes only 12 min and can replace the time-consuming and labor-intensive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The solid-phase sandwich assay is performed on a new measurement system comprising si...
متن کاملNanometer axial resolution by three-dimensional supercritical angle fluorescence microscopy.
We report a noninvasive fluorescence microscopy method and demonstrate nanometer resolution along the optical axis. The technique is based on the influence of the microscope slide on the angular intensity distribution of fluorescence. Axial positions are determined by measuring the proportion of light emitted below the critical angle of total internal reflection, which behaves in a classical wa...
متن کاملFull-field supercritical angle fluorescence microscopy for live cell imaging.
We introduce a full-field fluorescence imaging technique with axial confinement of about 100 nm at the sample/substrate interface. Contrary to standard surface imaging techniques, this confinement is obtained through emission filtering. This technique is based on supercritical emission selectivity. It can be implemented on any epifluorescence microscope with a commercial high numerical aperture...
متن کاملQuantitative diffusion and swelling kinetic measurements using large-angle interferometric refractometry.
The uptake and release of sorbates into films and coatings is typically accompanied by changes of the films' refractive index and thickness. We provide a comprehensive model to calculate the concentration of the sorbate from the average refractive index and the film thickness, and validate the model experimentally. The mass fraction of the analyte partitioned into a film is described quantitati...
