Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

12.1K
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...

    • To enable faster image acquisition by reducing the time constant.

    Main Methods:

    • Implemented subharmonic fast gate synchronization using a homemade frequency divider.
    • Reduced the Ti:sapphire laser's 76 MHz repetition rate to 38 MHz.
    • Used the divided frequency to synchronously drive the pump laser and for lock-in detection.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved over an order of magnitude improvement in signal-to-noise ratio.
    • Demonstrated sensitivity approaching theoretical shot noise limits.
    • Enabled detection with a significantly reduced time constant of 0.1 ms for faster imaging.
