Abstract

We present an implementation of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy with spectrally resolved detection based on a combined commercial confocal laser scanning/fluorescence correlation spectroscopy microscope. We have replaced the conventional detection scheme by a prism-based spectrometer and an electron-multiplying charge-coupled device camera used to record the photons. This allows us to read out more than 80,000 full spectra per second with a signal-to-noise ratio and a quantum efficiency high enough to allow single photon counting. We can identify up to four spectrally different quantum dots in vitro and demonstrate that spectrally resolved detection can be used to characterize photophysical properties of fluorophores by measuring the spectral dependence of quantum dot fluorescence emission intermittence. Moreover, we can confirm intracellular cross-correlation results as acquired with a conventional setup and show that spectral flexibility can help to optimize the choice of the detection windows.

Spectral calibration. (A) Laser lines reflected at a coverglass in front of the objective lens. The nonlinear dispersion of the prism results in a distribution of data points that is not linear with the wavelength. (B) Measured time integrated intensity spectra of the mixed and separate QD solutions (open symbols) and fits of Gaussian curves (solid lines).

Comparison with APD measurements. ACFs of Alexa 488 (A) and of QD 655 (B) in solution measured with the APD-based (blue) and with the EMCCD-based setup (red) normalized to the values at 12 µs lag time. The initial decrease at lag times <10 µs of the APD-based ACF of QD 655 was probably due to additional triplet state occupation and excluded for the fit. The diffusion correlation times from the fits are in good agreement. (C) Number of molecules in the focus as obtained from the fit of FCS data of QD 655 plotted against the concentration of the solution (black circles) and linear fit (red line).

FCS of a mixture of QDs. (A) ACFs of QD 525 (blue), 565 (green), 605 (yellow), and 655 (red) based on time trace extracted from a full spectral intensity recording by binning over appropriate detection windows. (B) The resulting diffusion correlation times for the respective QDs as a function of the maximum emission wavelength (circles) and the spectral dependence as theoretically expected from size and chromatic effects (arrows).

Spectrally resolved diffusion and fluorescence intermittence of QD 655. Spectral dependence of (A) the diffusion correlation time and (B) the number of molecules in the focal volume (circles) from fits with globally linked blinking parameters. The estimated chromatic dependence (solid lines) is based on the interpolated values at 655 nm. Spectral dependence of (C) the blinking correlation time and (D) the fraction in a non-fluorescent state from fits applying the estimated chromatic dependence from (A) and (B). Error bars are obtained from averaging over 4 experiments. (E) The measured ACFs (black) and the fits (red) resulting in (C) and (D) and the corresponding residuals for the data points 625, 633, 641, 649, 667 and 686 nm (top to bottom). The residuals were shifted by 0.002 each for better legibility. The qualitiy of the fits was similar for both approaches.
