DIY nanoparticle detection

Fluorescent_nano_microscopeI just tried to get some experience using the DIY microscope to detect fluorescence and nanoparticles. A friend of mine gave me some polymer-based hollow nanoparticles, designed for drug-delivery, dispersible in water and containing fluorescent dies. The fluorescence seems to be easily detectable even by eye when illuminated with an UV-LED. I guess I need to build a dark box around the microscope to test it more in detail or maybe only work at nights....
