On the Use of Pattern Fluorescence Photobleaching Recovery with Modulation Detection to Obtain Colloidal Size Distributions.
Fluorescence photobleaching recovery, long a staple tool of complex fluid experimentation, is discussed as a method for size characterization of colloidal particles. Specific comparisons are made to dynamic light scattering, which is often used for sizing particles despite some important limitations. The capabilities of fluorescence photobleaching recovery for size determination are demonstrated for aggregating core-shell silica-polypeptide composite particles suspended in polar organic solvents.
