Distributions of (a) emission intensity and (b) lifetime for the silica spheres and silver nanoshells. Because of instrument limitation, the lifetime of single silica spheres cannot be determined accurately on the current confocal microscope. This lifetime has previously been measured using ensemble time-resolved spectroscopy (Ref. 13).
