a Fluorescence intensity time traces acquired at different concentrations of Alexa 647 in phosphate buffer solution (PBS). b Retrieved autocorrelation functions from selected time traces in Panel a. Autocorrelation functions at 1 and 6 nM are multiplied by 3 for clarity. c Number of molecules in metalens detection volume directly retrieved from FCS correlation functions and background intensity data. Error bars denote standard deviation of FCS experiment. d Normalized FCS correlation functions of Alexa 647 in the presence and absence of glycerol. Diffusion time in glycerol 60 vv% solution rises by approximately 14× owing to viscosity increase. e Fluorescence decay data of Alexa 647 in the absence and presence of glycerol 60 vv%.
