摘要
We describe a simple self-calibrating technique, incident-beam interference sweeping, for measuring the height of fluorescent labels. Using a tilted back-reflecting mirror and a scanning laser beam, a modulated fluorescence emission allows height determination of a label from a surface with a resolution of similar to 3 nm. In addition, we show that the absolute distance of a label from the top-mounted mirror can be determined with a resolution of a few tens of nanometers over a micrometer range.
