Description
Summary:Nanosecond resolved fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (ns-FCS) based on two-color fluorescence detection is a powerful strategy for investigating the fast dynamics of biological macromolecules labeled with donor and acceptor fluorophores. The standard methods of ns-FCS use two single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) for the detection of single-color signals (four SPADs for two-color signals) to eliminate the afterpulse artifacts of SPAD at the expense of the efficiency of utilizing photon data in the calculation of correlograms. Herein, we demonstrated that hybrid photodetectors (HPDs) enable the recording of fluorescence photons in ns-FCS based on the minimal system using two HPDs for the detection of two-color signals. However, HPD exhibited afterpulses at a yield with respect to the rate of photodetection (
