31. -11 M were calibrated by fluorescence measurement in the absence of Ag colloids. The order, speed, and buffer volume of the colloid-analyte mixing process did not make measurable differences, indicating that equilibrium adsorption conditions were reached in our experiment.

35. In this integrated microscope, ultrasensitive optical imaging and spectroscopy provided molecular information, and AFM resolved the shape and size of individual nanoparticles. The microscope side port was coupled to a high-throughput, single-stage spectrograph and a back-illuminated charge-coupled device (CCD) detector for spectroscopy. The microscope front was attached to a video-rate intensified CCD for wide-field imaging of single nanoparticles with epi-or evanescent-wave laser excitation. A tapping-mode AFM scanning head was mounted directly on the microscope stage for topographic imaging at nanometer-scale resolution. When coupled with a video data acquisition system, this apparatus allowed digital movies to be made of single nanoparticles at 30 frames per second. Detailed instrument diagram and specifications are available upon request.
36. This question can be addressed by using near-field scanning optical microscopy to image nanoparticle aggregates at a resolution of 50 to 100 nm. Recent research shows that both surface and resonance-enhanced Raman spectra can be obtained with a near-field fiber probe in nanometer domains [S. R. Emory and S. Nie, in International Conference on Raman Spectroscopy, S. A. Asher and P. B. Stein, Eds. (Wiley, New York, 1996), pp. 1176-1177; S. Webster, D. A. M. Smith, M. W. Ayad, K. Kershaw, D. N.
