## Abstract

Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) is a powerful single-molecule technique which allows for measuring motion (diffusion, flow), concentration, and molecular interaction kinetics of fluorescent molecules from picomolar to micromolar concentrations. It has found manifold applications in the physical and life sciences. Many biological/biophysical applications use FCS for measuring the motion and concentration of fluorescently labeled biomolecules in living cells and tissue. However, a correct quantitative evaluation of FCS experiments relies on the accurate knowledge of the fluorescence excitation and detection properties of the used confocal microscope. Using a bottom-up approach, we theoretically study how these properties are affected by the presence of a diffracting dielectric bead within the optical path, and how this changes the outcome of a FCS measurement. This will be important for all applications of FCS under optically non-ideal aberrating conditions.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
