DFM when the binding event of nanoparticles was carefully investi
gated, and the steps showed good agreement with a number of the
additional particles observed by SEM (Fig. 5). This fact confirmed the
capability of singlebinding detection by DFM.^135 Similar to Lee’s, a
dimer sensor system was designed to detect miR210. In this system,
