Conclusion

Morphology-dependent resonances are found in other structures of high symmetry,(48) and so their possible existence in biological systems should not be ignored. The presence of such resonances should alter the rates of decay of excited species. A considerable amount of work remains to be done on investigating the optical properties of small, regularly shaped objects. Continuing studies of fluorescence from such systems may lead to improved probes of the microscopic environment of molecules, remote sensing techniques, and surface probes to investigate both solid and liquid surfaces. The study of interactions higher intensity is almost sure to produce a host of interesting effects. The work described in this chapter will hopefully introduce a reader to the field, and we have endeavored to make the citations as current as possible in order to allow the interested reader to follow subsequent developments.
