Abstract Background Two of the mainstay techniques in single-molecule research are optical trapping and single-molecule fluorescence. Previous attempts to combine these techniques in a single experiment - and on a single macromolecule of interest - have met with little success because the light intensity within an optical trap is more than ten orders of magnitude greater than the light emitted by a single fluorophore. Instead the two techniques have been employed sequentially or spatially separated by distances of several micrometers within the sample imposing experimental restrictions that limit the utility of the combined method. Here we report the development of an instrument capable of true simultaneous spatially coincident optical trapping and single-molecule fluorescence. Results We demonstrate the capability of the apparatus by studying force-induced strand separation of a rhodamine-labeled 15 base-pair segment of double-stranded DNA with force applied .
