Adaptive Optics for Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy

Adaptive optics for fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.

Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) yields measurement parameters (number of molecules, diffusion time) that characterize the concentration and kinetics of fluorescent molecules within a supposedly known observation volume. Absolute derivation of concentrations and diffusion constants therefore requires preliminary calibrations of the confocal Point Spread Function with phantom solution...

The optics and performance of dual-focus fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is an important spectroscopic technique which can be used for measuring the diffusion and thus size of fluorescing molecules at pico- to nanomolar concentrations. Recently, we introduced an extension of conventional FCS, which is called dual-focus FCS (2fFCS) and allows absolute diffusion measurements with high precision and repeatability. It was show...

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy.

This article focuses on methods based on fluctuation correlation spectroscopy to determine the formation of protein complexes in living cells. We present the principles of the fluctuation method applied to cells. We discuss the novelty and the promises of this approach. The emphasis is in the discussion of the underlying statistical assumptions of the image correlation spectroscopy analysis rat...
