  • 2Fluorescence interference contrast microscopy — Fluorescence interference contrast (FLIC) microscopy is a microscopic technique developed to achieve z resolution on the nanometer scale. FLIC occurs whenever fluorescent objects are in the vicinity of a reflecting surface (e.g. Si wafer). The… …
