Tracking Biomolecules and Nanoparticle Probes in Biological Samples with Improved Microscopy Imaging Methods
Novel optical imaging methods have opened new frontiers in chemical and biological discovery because they are minimally intrusive, requiring virtually no contact with the sample. Ning Fang, who is an associate professor of chemistry at Georgia State University, specializes in single-molecule and nanoparticle imaging, bioanalytical chemistry, and biophysics. He recently spoke to us about his work with far-field optical imaging methods for visualizing the dynamics of biomolecules and nanoparticle probes.
