Reversible switching of the fluorescence of an individual dye‐labeled DNA molecule is possible by utilizing an electric field applied in the tip of a nanopipette (see picture; FRET=fluorescence resonance energy transfer). The electric field appears to alter the conformation of the acceptor dye only, resulting in a significant change in its quantum yield.
