Abstract :
We report the results of our initial efforts to image photosynthetic proteins using the near-field technique. Allophycocyanin trimers, which contains six chromophores each, were dispersed onto a glass cover slip, and the fluorescence was imaged using a recently constructed near-field microscope. The results show that the emission from single proteins can be detected and localized on the nanometer scale.
