title: Rapid determination of the three-dimensional orientation of single molecules.
abstract: A technique is proposed for determination of the three-dimensional orientation of the transition dipoles of single molecules by use of polarization-sensitive detection of fluorescence through a high-N.A. objective. Molecular orientation can be determined uniquely and rapidly based on the counts from three detectors that are sensitive to different polarizations of light.
