Supplementary info from the paper "Real-time single-molecule imaging of quantum interference," authored by Thomas Juffmann, Adriana Milic, Michael Müllneritsch, Peter Asenbaum, Alexander Tsukernik, Jens Tüxen, Marcel Mayor, Ori Cheshnovsky & Markus Arndt, published in Nature Nanotechnology (2012) http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nnano.2012.34 (Published online 25 March 2012). The video shows "a false-colour movie recorded with an EMCCD camera showing the build-up of the quantum interference pattern for PcH2 molecules. Images were recorded before deposition of the molecules." From the paper: "The phthalocyanine molecule PcH2 and its derivative F24PcH2 were selected because they are stable molecules and efficient dyes, even in vacuum. The molecular sample on W2 was illuminated under a shallow angle so that the excitation laser did not enter the imaging optics. Fluorescence was collected by a microscope objective, filtered, and imaged onto the single-photon-sensitive electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD) camera."
