This talk will describe undergraduate physical chemistry laboratory experiments and research projects that have been implemented at Wichita State University.  These experiments use fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy to illustrate how nanoparticle distributions can be imaged or measured and thereby provide a unique teaching opportunity to introduce students to the Poisson distribution, nanometer length scales and molecular interactions.
