Detecting single molecules is the ultimate detection limit. Among other applications it enables measurements beyond ensemble averaging, ultraprecise analytics and super-resolution imging.
Typically, detecting single fluorescent molecules has required costly, research-grade equipment. In our latest publication we present an inexpensive setup that leverages current smartphone technologies to detect single molecules.
This project was led by our close and long-standing collaborator Prof. Guillermo Acuna from the University of Fribourg, Switzerland:
