242 Firstly, I would like to thank my promotor Thorben Cordes. Thank you for all your help, for all the opportunities you gave me, for involving me in various projects and especially for the freedom you gave me to explore my own interests. It was a great learning experience.
Giorgos Gkouridis, thank you for your help and all the years we worked together. I cherish
the scientific and non-scientific discussions we had. I also would like to thank my second promotor Erik van der Giessen, especially for the suggestions on the theoretical work of this thesis.
I would like to thank my assessment committee, Philip Tinnefeld, Enrica Bordignon and Wouter Roos. Thank you for critically reading this thesis.
The work of this thesis was done in collaboration with many researchers from other groups and universities. I want to express my gratitude to them and I am proud that our work resulted in many publications. Gea Schuurman-Wolters, Ruslan Vietrov, Martyna
Pietrzyk, Marco van den Noort and Bert Poolman and all other members of the
Enzymology group: I appreciated the fruitful collaborations we had. Especially
Bert Poolman, thank you for always taking the time for me and for involving me in many
projects. I also would like to thank Stephanie Begg and Christopher McDevitt of the University of Melbourne and Bianca Hetzert, Kristin Kiosze-Becker, Holger Heinemann,
Elina Nürenberg-Goloub and Robert Tampé of the Goethe University Frankfurt.
I also would like to thank all of my direct colleagues for their help in the lab and for the discussions we had, especially my close collaborators Kostas, Florence and Yusran. Thank you for all your help! I would also like to thank the other members of the Molecular Microscopy group whom I worked closely with for many years: Nikos, Atieh, Evelyn,
Jochem, Jasper, Matthijs, Martin and Yichen. I also want to thank the members of the
Molecular Biophysics group, Sourav, Melissa, Guus, Pedro, Ceri, Ignacio, Yuzhen and
Wouter and the people of the Single-Molecule Biophysics group, Jelle, Karl, Andrew, Joris, Sarah, Sameneh, Alex and Antoine.
Victor, your support and advice on the optics was essential; thank you for sharing your
experience with me. Margriet, thank you for your help, not only on organisational related issues. Michiel, thank you for your support on computer related issues.
I also would like to recognize the facilities provided by the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials, and want to thank especially Caspar van der Wal and Jan Peter
