TLDR
In this article, surface plasmon microscopic pictures recorded as a function of the angle of incidence of the coupling laser beam can be quantitatively evaluated and yield optical thicknesses of ultrathin coatings with an areal resolution of 5×5 μm2.
Abstract
Surface plasmon microscopic pictures recorded as a function of the angle of incidence of the coupling laser beam can be quantitatively evaluated and yield optical thicknesses of ultrathin coatings with an areal resolution of 5×5 μm2. This is demonstrated for a lipid monolayer transferred to a solid support in its phase transition region. The coexisting amorphous and crystalline domains can be analyzed simultaneously.

Colloidal Au-enhanced surface plasmon resonance immunosensing.

TL;DR: A quasi-linear relationship between particle coverage and plasmon angle shift is presented, thereby providing for a direct correlation between plAsmon shift and solution antigen concentration.

SPR microscopy and its applications to high-throughput analyses of biomolecular binding events and their kinetics.

TL;DR: Commercial SPR microscopes now make it possible to simultaneously monitor binding kinetics on >1300 spots within a protein microarray with a detection limit of approximately 0.3 ng/cm(2), or <50 fg per spot with a time resolution of 1s, and spot-to-spot reproducibility within a few percent.

Supported membranes on soft polymer cushions: fabrication, characterization and applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied powerful surface-sensitive techniques to study protein-protein recognition processes at membranes and the control of cell adhesion by the interplay of specific 'lock-and-key' forces and universal interfacial forces.

TL;DR: Soft biofunctional and biocompatible interfaces on solids designed by the deposition of ultrathin soft polymer films or supported membranes have numerous scientific and practical applications and powerful surface-sensitive techniques can be applied to study protein-protein recognition processes at membranes.

In Situ Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging Detection of DNA Hybridization to Oligonucleotide Arrays on Gold Surfaces

TL;DR: A new method for constructing oligonucleotide arrays on gold surfaces has been developed, and these arrays have been used in DNA hybridization experiments with in situ surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging detection, able to differentiate between single- and double-stranded DNA regions on the gold surface.

Surface–plasmon microscopy

TL;DR: The surface plasmon microscopy (SPM) method as mentioned in this paper uses plasmor surface polariton (PSP) fields instead of normal light as the illumination source, which can provide superior contrast without loss of spatial resolution.
