<William E. Moerner> coauthored optical detection and <spectroscopy> of individual <molecules> in a solid. Resolving a single emitter separates its response from the average over many molecular environments.
The experiment connects spectral selectivity and optical sensitivity with molecular-level observation. A measured ensemble line can hide distinctions that become visible when individual <molecules> are observed.<Optical detection and spectroscopy of single molecules in a solid by W. E. Moerner and L.
