A Tunable Fluidic Microlens with Fluorescence Enhancement
This paper reports an enhancement in fluorescence detection via the formation of fluidic microlens in micro-optical fluidic system (MOFS). The fluidic microlens is formed by three laminar flows in the expansion chamber. By changing the flow rate of each flow, the shape and focal length of the fluidic lens will be changed. Therefore, the fluidic microlens provides a wide range of tunability to e...
متن کاملLeaky-mode assisted fluorescence extraction: application to fluorescence enhancement biosensors.
Efficient recovery of light emitted by fluorescent molecules by employing photonic structures can result in high signal-to-noise ratio detection for biological applications including DNA microarrays, fluorescence microscopy and single molecule detection. By employing a model system comprised of colloidal quantum dots, we consider the physical basis of the extraction effect as provided by photon...
متن کاملSingle-molecule fluorescence imaging of processive myosin with enhanced background suppression using linear zero-mode waveguides (ZMWs) and convex lens induced confinement (CLIC).
Resolving single fluorescent molecules in the presence of high fluorophore concentrations remains a challenge in single-molecule biophysics that limits our understanding of weak molecular interactions. Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) imaging, the workhorse of single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, enables experiments at concentrations up to about 100 nM, but many biological inte...
متن کاملZero-Mode-Waveguides Used in Cell and Surface Interactions
Zero-mode-waveguides (ZMWs) are subwavelength apertures on metal films. They are fabricated at the CNF with a lift-off process using electron-beam lithography (Figure 1). We further process these structures for biological studies by topping the surface with polyethylene glycol, and selectively coating the inside of the ZMWs with 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) functionalized polymer. Using fluorescence...
متن کاملColor-tunable mixed photoluminescence emission from Alq3 organic layer in metal-Alq3-metal surface plasmon structure
This work reports the color-tunable mixed photoluminescence (PL) emission from an Alq3 organic layer in an Au-Alq3-Au plasmonic structure through the combination of organic fluorescence emission and another form of emission that is enabled by the surface plasmons in the plasmonic structure. The emission wavelength of the latter depends on the Alq3 thickness and can be tuned within the Alq3 fluo...
