(A)Slowly diffusing fluorescent species at low concentrations give rise to large signal fluctuations around the mean fluorescence intensity value, (B) Fast diffusing molecules at high concentration produce small signal fluctuations, (C) The autocorrelation curves from (A) and (B). In case (B) the correlation curve will have a shorter diffusional correlation time and smaller G(0) in comparision to case (A) [
