Fluorescent optical probes have rapidly transformed our understanding of complex biological systems by providing specific information on biological targets in the natural living state. However, their utility is often limited by insufficient brightness, photostability, and multiplexing capacity. Here, we report a conceptually new optical probe, termed 'reflectophore', which is based on the spectral interference from a dielectric microsphere. Reflectophores are orders-of-magnitudes brighter than c ...[more]
