摘要
We report real-time observation of fluorescence bursts from individual Rhodamine 6G molecules in streams of microdroplets (peak signal-to-noise ratios, approximate to 30) whose trajectories are constrained with a linear electric quadrupole. This approach offers a reasonable dynamic range in droplet size (3-12-mu m diameter) with <1% shot-to-shot size fluctuations and sensitivity comparable with that of droplet levitation techniques with at least 10(3) higher analysis rates. Applications to the study of single-molecule microcavity effects and stimulated emission are discussed.
