Single-Molecule Imaging – basics, prospects and limitations
The utilization of single-molecule techniques has become widespread in biophysics labs. In this introductory lecture we will review the physical basis of the methodology and learn about the various applications in the biosciences, as well as it’s limitations given by the optical and photophysical constraints in fluorescence imaging. Further, we will discuss in which way such imaging data yield information about clustering and molecular motility and how one can extract those.
