In biophysics, a zero-mode waveguide is a structure that guides light energy into a volume that is small in all dimensions compared to the wavelength of the light. Zero-mode waveguides have been developed for rapid parallel sensing of zeptolitre sample volumes, as applied to gene sequencing, by Nanofluidics, Inc. (nowPacific Biosciences).[1]
