fluorophors has been analyzed. It has been shown that hydrophobic interactions in addition to electrostatic interactions are of key importance for the binding between the positively charged dyes and negatively charged surfactant micelles.Introduction. The rapid development of biological research that has been observed in the last decades especially after the emergence of advanced methods such as single-molecule spectroscopy has made completely new demands on fluorescent probes and markers that are used in fluorescent research methods. Then, the development of materials science areas such as nanotechnology has provided very promising new materials that can be used as nanoprobes for investigations at the cellular level and nanocages for selective transport of various substances. Such materials include semiconducting quantum dots [1, 2], fluorescent polymeric dots [3,4], fluorescent polymeric spheres [5], and hollow nanoparticles based on cross-linked block copolymers [6][7][8]. Ultramicroheterogeneous systems, for example, micelles of colloidal surfactants (SA) and microemulsions are also of definite interest because they are widely used in various branches of science and technology including for the synthesis of nanoparticles of various structure as unique nanoreactors. The search for methods of manipulating samples in a nano-scale volume is especially interesting from the viewpoint of nanotechnology development.Herein we present results from investigations of the interactions of organic fluorophors solubilized in the nano-scale volume of SA micelles. Solubilization of the fluorophors by the SA micelle was monitored by Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between a pair of fluorophors (donor and acceptor of electronic excitation energy). The fluorophors were the polymethine dyes DiI and DiOC 18 :
