Research areas

The group of Prof. Meixner focuses on the development and application of modern microscopic and spectroscopic methods for the optical detection, localization and characterisation of single (bio-) molecules and molecular aggregates (confocal microscopy, near-field optical microscopy, single-molecule spectroscopy).

 

Thematic Series

Prof. Meixner edited the Thematic Series in the Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology:

Optical near-fields & nearfield optics (together with Prof. Paul Leiderer)

Nanophotonics, nano-optics and nanospectroscopy

Optically and electrically driven nanoantennas (together with Dr. Dai Zhang and Prof. Monika Fleischer)
