Mineral exploration in the Canadian shield is a major challenge nowadays. This is because of the thick overburden cover and complex geology. Borehole tomography using resistivity and induced polarization (BHDCIP) method has a big advantage here due to that the data is acquired underneath the cover and data quality, in general, is superior to that acquired at the surface. BHDCIP provides good resistivity and chargeability data, which can identify mineralization easily. In this study, the BHDCIP survey with high-resolution data was carried out to identify mineralization zones in the McCreedy West zone, north-western Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Two and three-dimensional (2-D and 3-D) inversion results of three boreholes clearly revealed the mineralization zones and that harmonised with previous geological studies in the study area. The BHDCIP method provided insight and developed an informative subsurface map to identify the mineralization zones, thus proving it as a beneficial tool used for mineral exploration in complex geology with a minimal data survey and an irregular geometrical distribution.

The ability to observe the fluorescence arising from single molecules has revolutionized our ability to study the structure and dynamics of materials on a microscopic level and to probe the properties of individual members of a heterogeneous ensemble. A variety of near-field and far-field excitation techniques have been employed to study single molecules. Multiphoton excitation (MPE) techniques have a number of advantages that make them particularly attractive for singlemolecule detection. First, because the excitation and fluorescence wavelengths are significantly different from one another, Rayleigh and Raman scattering can easily be filtered out, leading to a low number of background counts. Second, because the probability for MPE depends on the excitation intensity to the second or higher power, the excitation is localized to the point in space where the excitation beam is most tightly focussed, thus providing three-dimensional resolution.
