Fluorescence tools operating on a single-molecule scale
Discoveries in biosciences are frequently stimulated by the invention of new scientific tools. We like to push fluorescence techniques beyond the classic spatial and temporal resolution limits. Such low-invasive approaches offer the fascinating prospect of observing biomolecules in their native environment and understanding how they act in concert.
