The foundations for fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (ECS) were already laid in the early 1970s, but this technique did not become widely used tmtil singlemolecule detection was established almost 20 years later with the use of diffraction-limited confocal volume element. The analysis of molecular noise from the GHz- to the Hz-region facilitates measurements over a large d5mamic range covering...

The foundations of confocal scanned imaging in light microscopy have been reviewed [24]. Other reviews deal with confocal microscopy [106,107] and confocal laser microscopy [108]. CLSM has also been reviewed [109], in particular also for polymer science [110]. Several (hand)books on confocal microscopy [92,93,111] and on CSFM [92,111] are available. An early report on scanning laser microscopy has appeared [98] and history has been described [95].
