After 20 years of development single molecule spectroscopy has become a very
popular technique in biophysics. Ability to detect fluorescence coming from
just one chromophore makes it an ultimate analytical tool and also allows
breaking diffraction limit in optical microscopy. Today methods based on
single molecule detection are used more and more for the sake of material
sciences. In my lecture I will concentrate on fluorescence microscopy
techniques for monitoring of long-range energy migration in isolated
luminescent nanoobjects. Besides the fluorescence blinking new emerging tools
for energy transfer characterization such as 2- dimensional polarization
imaging and optical super-resolution microscopy allowing direct visualization
of energy transfer pathways at nano-scale will be discussed.
