Reduced blinking and long-lasting fluorescence of single fluorophores coupling to silver nanoparticles

The fluorescence signal of single organic fluorophores is characterized by random blinking and irreversible photobleaching. Photoinduced blinking of Cy5 has posed various limitations of this popular near-infrared (NIR) probe in biological applications. Here we show that fluorophore-metal nanoparticl...
