Summary of the results from fluorescence spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and photoacoustic spectroscopy experiments. Values are represented as mean ± standard deviation (n = 5 for fluorescent spectroscopy, n = 100 for atomic force microscopy (AFM), and n = 5 for photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS)).
