Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detecting a plasmonic nanoparticle label. The method for detecting a plasmonic nanoparticle label comprising: illuminating a sample with first and second beams of electromagnetic radiation having first and second frequencies, respectively; wherein the sample is located in a first optical medium on a surface defining a boundary between the first optical medium and a second optical medium having a higher refractive index; measuring the intensity of the radiation at the first and second frequencies after the first and second beams have traversed the sample; detecting the presence of a plasmonic nanoparticle label in the circumstances that the intensity differential between the first beam and the first traversed beam is greater than the intensity differential between the second beam and the second traversed beam; wherein the first frequency is a known plasmon resonance frequency of the nanoparticle, and wherein the second frequency is an off-resonance frequency of the nanoparticle; and wherein the step of illuminating the sample comprises directing the first and second beams at the sample through the second optical medium at an angle of incidence to the surface which is above the critical angle for total internal reflection.
