Molecule

Caption

A molecule, whose path traced out in time is shown by the blue line, occasionally wanders into a brightly lit green region. Within this region, the molecule is excited and begins emitting light of a different wavelength that we can distinguish from the green light. This emitted-light reports back on the behavior of the molecule.
