We
have a world-class laboratory
for conducting single-molecule detection and spectroscopic experiments.
The instruments available for research students and postdoctoral research
fellows include:
1) Time-resolved confocal fluorescence
microscope (PicoQuant MicroTime 200). 2 × APD detectors (PerkinElmer)
for single-molecule detection, cross-correlation fluorescence correlation
spectroscopy (FCS), 2-focus FCS, pulsed interleaved excitation (PIE)
FRET, and fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) experiments. Spectrograph
(Acton SpectraPro) and Pixis CCD (Princeton Instruments) for measuring
single-molecule fluorescence and single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman
scattering (SM-SERS) spectra:
2) Wide-field fluorescence microscope
(home built) with Cascade II CCD (Photometrics):
3) Fluorescence lifetime
instrument (Jobin Yvon FluoroCube):
4) Laser scanning imaging
microscope (Nikon Eclipse):
5) Dual-beam absorption spectrometer
(Varian Cary 100).
6) Steady-state fluorescence
spectrometer (Varian Eclipse).
