Single entity imaging

While colloidal syntheses of plasmonic nanostructures are increasingly sophisticated, even the best nanoparticle samples have inherent heterogeneity in the size and shape of the resulting structures, leading to the need for single particle imaging strategies in order to tease out structure-function relationships. 

Our lab uses a suite of optical imaging tools, from our own CLocK technique to super-resolution imaging, in order to characterize heterogeneity, one nanoparticle at a time.
