The spectroscopic signatures of bulk samples can differ vastly from those of the respective single molecules. In particular, access to the femtosecond dynamics of single molecules remains a large experimental challenge. Here, we present a novel setup consisting of a spectrally tunable femtosecond laser source and a scanning confocal fluorescence microscope with fully reflective excitation geometry and single-molecule sensitivity. Using a phase-stable interferometer we create a pulse pair with variable time delay to measure the molecular fluorescence excitation spectrum by means of Fourier-transform spectroscopy. By exciting the molecule with an additional prior pump pulse, we gain access to the dynamics of the excited state as a function of the pump--probe delay, resulting in a fluorescence-detected pump--probe spectrum. We have obtained first results on single terrylene bisimide molecules and compare them to a spincoated thin film.
