Metal-Induced Energy Transfer

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advanced Photon Counting

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Fluorescence ((SS FLUOR,volume 15))

Abstract

This chapter presents an overview of the recently introduced concept of metal-induced energy transfer and two of its applications. We discuss the basic principle of the method and its application to the mapping of the membrane of a living cell and to the single-molecule axial localization with 2–3 nm accuracy.
