Optical Detection of Very Small Nonfluorescent Nanoparticles

We discuss an interferometric method for the optical detection of very small nonfluorescent nanoparticles. In particular, we show that single gold nanoparticles with a diameter as small as 5 nm can be detected. We discuss the potential of such tiny particles as optical labels for biological...
