PCT No. PCT/EP95/04213 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 28, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 28, 1997 PCT Filed Oct. 26, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/13744 PCT Pub. Date May 9, 1996A method for the determination of material-specific parameters of one or a few molecules by means of correlation spectroscopy wherein the molecule or molecules in a sample in which the molecule(s) to be determined is (are) present in relatively high concentrations is (are) excited by electromagnetic radiation (excitation radiation) to emit electromagnetic radiation (emission radiation) wherein said excitation and/or emission radiation passes a means which is permeable to the corresponding wavelength of said electromagnetic radiation which means is disposed between an excitation or emission radiation source and an excitation or emission radiation detector, said means for transmitting electromagnetic waves having at least one region the largest dimension of which in at least one direction of space is smaller than the wavelength of said excitation and/or emission radiation of said molecule or molecules.
