Claim 11:
12. An optical system for determining a length of a protein filament residing on a DNA-molecule, the optical system comprising:
a light-sensitive system configured to receive light from the DNA-molecule hosting one or more optically active entities at at least one part of the DNA-molecule not hosting the protein filament, wherein the optically active entities cause light emission from said at least one part, and
further configured to output a signal based on the received light, the optical system further comprising
a data processing system configured to perform the steps of
determining a light value based on the output signal, the light value indicating an amount of light from the DNA-molecule being incident on the light-sensitive system, and
determining on the basis of the light value the length of the protein filament.
