Evaluation of a spectrally resolved scattering microscope
نویسندگان
چکیده
A scattering microscope was developed to investigate single cells and biological microstructures by light scattering measurements. The spectrally resolved part of the setup and its validation are shown in detail. The analysis of light scattered by homogenous polystyrene spheres allows the determination of their diameters using Mie theory. The diameters of 150 single polystyrene spheres were determined by the spectrally resolved scattering microscope. In comparison, the same polystyrene suspension stock was investigated by a collimated transmission setup. Mean diameters and standard deviations of the size distribution were evaluated by both methods with a statistical error of less than 1nm. The systematic errors of both devices are in agreement within the measurement accuracy.

We present an implementation of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy with spectrally resolved detection based on a combined commercial confocal laser scanning/fluorescence correlation spectroscopy microscope. We have replaced the conventional detection scheme by a prism-based spectrometer and an electron-multiplying charge-coupled device camera used to record the photons. This allows us to rea...

A standard wide field inverted microscope was converted to a spatially selective spectrally resolved microscope through the addition of a polarizing beam splitter, a pair of polarizers, an amplitude-mode liquid crystal-spatial light modulator, and a USB spectrometer. The instrument is capable of simultaneously imaging and acquiring spectra over user defined regions of interest. The microscope c...
