Figure 1. (left) sample under white light, (middle) white light and single-molecule emission overlaid, and (right) single-molecule emission only. We have some problem with background, but we are able get achieve signal-to-background ratios sufficient for imaging.
I really have no idea why my girlfriend let us do this. It was partially her idea, really. Maybe she wanted to keep me home longer, staring at the walls, writing down filenames, instead of heading into lab.
