A Fourier transform imaging spectrometer for measuring the scattering spectra of single metallic nanoparticles is presented.
The current imaging spectrometer setup routinely allows collecting signals from more than 50 individual nanoparticles in parallel.
The signal response of single metallic nanoparticles due to changes of their local environment was investigated.
The spatial distribution of BSA adsorption on single nanoparticles is monitored.
The presented Fourier based imaging spectrometer allows the fast and cost-efficient readout of scattering spectra of single nanoparticles.
