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.
Aplicación
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.

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
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
We fabricated platinum bowtie nanostructure arrays producing fluorescence enhancement and evaluated their performance using two-photon photoluminescence and single-molecule fluorescence measurements. A comprehensive selection of suitable materials was explored by electromagnetic simulation and Pt was chosen as the plasmonic material for
Hybridization of nucleic acids with secondary structure is involved in many biological processes and technological applications. To gain more insight into its mechanism, we have investigated the kinetics of DNA hybridization/denaturation via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) on perfectly matched
We demonstrate three-dimensional (3D) super-resolution imaging of stochastically switched fluorophores distributed across whole cells. By evaluating the higher moments of the diffraction spot provided by a 4Pi detection scheme, single markers can be simultaneously localized with <10 nm precision in
