Question

The simultaneous cross-section for two of these particles is measured in units named for Maria Goeppert Mayer. Silicon quantum dots (20[1])are sources of these particles. (20[1])Marvin (20[3])Minsky invented a device that fires these particles at planes through a pinhole to minimize the point spread function. Bleaching and quenching reduce these particles’ (20[2])quantum efficiency (20[1])so they’re harder to detect (20[1])with (*) CCDs. In super-resolution techniques, these (10[1])particles measure distances shorter (10[1])than their 100-nanometer Abbé (“uh-BAY”) limit. (10[1])Halogens react with tungsten filaments to provide these particles, (10[3])which are absorbed (10[1])and then re-emitted (10[3])when a molecule fluoresces. (10[4])For (10[1])10 points, (10[2])name these particles provided by a microscope’s light source. (10[1])■END■ (10[9])
