30. At a glass/solution boundary, this approximation holds to within 10%; the slight deviation from exponentiality arises from near-field coupling of the dipole radiation into the more optically dense glass. See, for example, D. Axelrod and E. H. Hellen, in Fluorescence Microscopy of Living Cells in Culture, Part B, D. L. Taylor and Y.-L. Wang, Eds. (Academic Press. San Diego, CA, 1989), pp. 399-416.

33. 2〉 values (Table 1) is ≃2.7%, thus indicating that, within our experimental error, diffusion in axial and transverse directions is equivalent.
