Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

14.6K
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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.9K
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:

  • Microscopy
  • Biophysics
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Super-resolution microscopy techniques like STED/RESOLFT enable imaging beyond the diffraction limit.
  • Recent advances aim to increase imaging speed and field of view for these methods.
  • Utilizing light patterns to control fluorophore states is key to RESOLFT nanoscopy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a highly parallelized, multicolour RESOLFT nanoscopy method for large field-of-view imaging.
  • To achieve fast, high-resolution imaging of cellular structures in living cells.
  • To demonstrate wavelength-independent pattern generation for improved nanoscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Generation of wavelength-independent periodic light patterns using gratings for precise fluorophore switching.
  • Application of multiple periodic patterns for multicolour RESOLFT nanoscopy.
  • Imaging of keratin filaments in living cells using switchable fluorescent proteins (Dreiklang, rsCherryRev1.4).

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated highly parallelized, multicolour RESOLFT nanoscopy over ~100x100 μm² fields of view in living cells.
  • Achieved high resolution, rendering individual keratin filaments with a Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of ~60-80 nm.
  • Effective resolution for filament imaging was determined to be ~80-100 nm.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method enables rapid, multicolour super-resolution imaging of large cellular areas.
  • Wavelength-independent pattern generation is crucial for efficient multicolour RESOLFT nanoscopy.
  • Novel image reconstruction algorithms enhance image quality and resolution in nanoscopy.
