Make it Rigid Ca++ Application: Calcium sensing
Stark effect Application: Membrane Voltage Sensing
Setting up the TIRF microscope Objective-TIRF Prism-TIRF
Sensitivity of Fluorescence Microscope • Signal • New concept: absorption cross-section • Background due to excitation light: ~105 x (signal from one dye molecule) • Noise • Shot noise (unavoidable) • Thermal background noise • Read noise
