25. The PL microscope setup was constructed such that the emission from the microspheres, collected through a microscope objective (NA = 0.45 or 1.25), could be simultaneously imaged with a charge-coupled device (CCD) as well as detected and analyzed using a spectrophotometer. Using the same setup, illumination with a white light source allowed optical (transmission mode) imaging of the sample.
26. For the PL measurements the exciting laser beam was focused on the sample and the emission was collected backwards using a microscope objective (NA = 0.45). A 400 nm highpass filter was used in order to block out the scattered light from the pump laser. The emission from individual CdSe QDMSs was selected by a pinhole (20-500 μm in diameter) and guided with a quartz fiber optic to the entrance slit of a spectrophotometer equipped with a monochromator (150 grooves/mm) and a liquid nitrogen cooled back-illuminated CCD detector.
