[MOS] Lester Wolfe Workshop, October 20, 2015, "Probing single molecules with light"

[Zina M Queen]

Lester Wolfe Workshop in Laser Biomedicine


“Probing single molecules with light”

  It has long been a goal of scientists to be able to investigate molecular interactions at the single molecule level. Biological interactions are often weak and transitory in nature and need extremely sensitive techniques to be able to detect single molecules. The Fall Lester Wolfe Workshop will present instances in which the power and precision of light can be harnessed to “see” single molecules
