Abstract

The potential of surface plasmon resonance-enhanced total internal reflection microscopy (TIRM) for visualization of microscopic particles has been demonstrated using microscopic-sized silicon rods as a test object. Si-rods were deposited upon the surface of the plasmon-supporting gold film by sedimentation from suspension. Filiform objects were imaged by optical microscope upon SPR excitation and by regular light microscope. Quality of images and specific features of light scattering from filiform objects are discussed. The study was aimed at development of a novel type of SPR-based biosensor relied upon direct count of biological species of interest (bacteria, viruses, large biomolecular complexes).
