Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy01:37

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

12.3K
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been...

High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS)

2.6K
The resolution of a mass spectrometer depends on the efficiency of separating ions with different ion masses. The mass of an atom is approximated to the sum of the masses of protons and neutrons inside, considering the masses of protons and neutrons as equal. However, the masses of the proton (1.6726 × 10−24 g) and neutron (1.6749 × 10−24 g) are not truly equal. There is a minor error in the expression of atomic masses relative to the simplest atom of hydrogen. For...

Mass Analyzers: Overview01:13

Mass Analyzers: Overview

2.0K
The mass analyzer is a crucial component of the mass spectrometer. In the ionization chamber, the vaporized sample is bombarded with a high-energy electron beam to generate a radical cation and further fragment into neutral molecules, radicals, and cations. A series of negatively charged accelerator plates accelerate the cations into the mass analyzer. The mass analyzer separates ions according to their mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios and then directs them to the detector. The common types of mass...

Atomic Force Microscopy01:08

Atomic Force Microscopy

3.1K
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that can analyze topographic details of various specimens like ceramics, glass, polymers, and biological samples. AFM offers over 1000 times more resolution than the optical imaging system. Images generated from AFM are three-dimensional surface profiles, offering an advantage over the flat, two-dimensional images from other imaging techniques.
The AFM Probe
The probe is regarded as the heart of any AFM setup and comprises the...

Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (ICP–MS): Overview01:19

Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (ICP–MS): Overview

2.7K
In inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP–MS), an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) torch is used as an atomizer and ionizer. Solid samples are dissolved and volatilized before being introduced into the high-temperature argon plasma, while solution samples are nebulized and passed through the high-temperature argon plasma. Plasma dissociates the analytes and ionizes their component atoms to form a mixture of positive ions and molecular species. The positive ions are then...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction01:07

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.0K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Physical Chemistry
  • Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Non-ideal electric fields in traditional FT-ICR cells distort ion cyclotron motion phases.
  • Computer simulations of ion behavior offer insights for improved cell designs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel FT-ICR cell design that minimizes phase distortion.
  • To demonstrate the enhanced resolving power and analytical capabilities of the new cell.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a Penning ion trap with specially shaped electrodes to average the trapping DC electric field.
  • Employed extended detection times (5 min) and a 7 Tesla magnetic field.
  • Developed a new algorithm for processing fine structure patterns to determine atomic composition.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a resolving power of nearly 40,000,000 for reserpine (m/z 609).
  • Resolved fine structures of isotopic clusters for molecules up to 5.7 kDa (insulin) with a resolving power of 4,000,000.
  • Measured mass spectra of proteins and protein multimers up to 186 kDa (enolase tetramer) with isotopic resolution.

Conclusions:

  • The novel FT-ICR cell design effectively prevents phase distortion, leading to unprecedented resolving power.
  • This technology allows for direct determination of atomic compositions and high-resolution analysis of large biomolecules.
  • The resolving power is primarily limited by collisional damping, indicating minimal inherent limitations in the cell design itself.
