FROM THE EDITOR

Is A Green Laser Better Than A Red One?

Green lasers are growing in popularity because the human eye is especially sensitive to green light, which appears almost 30 times brighter than the red color. Does that make them a better choice than red lasers? Maybe yes … maybe no.

SPOTLIGHT ON LASERS & SOURCES

Improving The Sensitivity Of Multicolor Microscopy Techniques

Single molecule fluorescence (or Förstner) resonance energy transfer (smFRET) is used to measure distances at the 1-10 nanometer scale in single molecules, typically biomolecules.
