Atto 532 NHS ester is a fluorescent dye related to the well-known laser dye, Rhodamine 6G. The fluorescence activity is excited efficiently at the 515-545nm range. A suitable excitation source for Atto 532 is the 532 nm output of the frequency-doubled Nd: YAG laser.
Application
Atto 532 NHS ester is highly suitable for single-molecule detection applications and high-resolution microscopy such as PALM, dSTORM, and STED. In addition, the dye is used in flow cytometry (FACS) and fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) methods.
Features and Benefits
Characteristic features of the Atto 532 NHS ester are:
Standing-wave excitation of fluorescence is highly desirable in optical microscopy because it improves the axial resolution. We demonstrate here that multiplanar excitation of fluorescence by a standing wave can be produced in a single-spot laser scanning microscope by placing a

A method was developed to detect fluorescence intensity signals from single molecules diffusing freely in a capillary cell. A unique optical system based on a spherical mirror was designed to enable quantitative detection of the fluorescence intensity. Furthermore, "flow-and-stop" control
The endoplasmic reticulum is the site of folding, assembly and quality control for proteins of the secretory pathway. The ATP-regulated Hsp70 chaperone BiP (heavy chain-binding protein), together with cochaperones, has important roles in all of these processes. The functional cycle

H(+)-ATP synthases are molecular machines which couple transmembrane proton transport with ATP synthesis from ADP and inorganic phosphate by a rotational mechanism. Single-pair fluorescence resonance energy transfer (spFRET) in single molecules is a powerful tool to analyse conformational changes. It
Fusion is thought to open a pore to release vesicular cargoes vital for many biological processes, including exocytosis, intracellular trafficking, fertilization, and viral entry. However, fusion pores have not been observed and thus proved in live cells. Its regulatory mechanisms and
