I want to ask the limits on the molecule side for single molecule fluorescence microscopy. I am writing a proposal but I lack experimental knowledge since no one in my lab have ever used one.
At least how much of an absorption coefficient, with at least how much of a radiative rate is necessary for detecting on fluorescence microscope if combined with spectrometer and you want decent wavelength resolution?
*I know it also depends on other factors such as bleaching and the length of the experiment one is expecting, but I want some guidelines.
