1. A fluorescence correlation spectroscopy instrument comprising:

  • an excitation source that emits light along an optical axis extending in a first direction;

    a first dichromatic mirror that alters the direction of the optical axis to a second direction different from the first direction;

    a first reflective mirror that alters the second direction of the optical axis to a third direction, the third direction being perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction;

    a first light focusing element positioned to receive light reflected by the first reflective mirror and to focus the light in a sample volume;

    a detector for detecting light, the detector positioned to receive light emitted by a sample excited by the excitation source; and

    a correlator coupled to the detector, the correlator for processing data received at the detector and providing data comprising autocorrelation data, crosscorrelation data, or a combination thereof.
