Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

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...

Main Methods:

Utilized unique linkers for tetrazine (Tz)/trans-cyclooctene (TCO)-mediated quenching.
Developed an ultra-fast cycling method for analyzing single cells.
Enabled multi-cycle staining and immune cell profiling.

Main Results:

Achieved quenching reaction rates over 3 orders of magnitude faster than predicted (t1/2 <1 s).
Successfully performed multi-cycle staining and immune cell profiling within one hour.
Demonstrated a highly efficient cycling method for rapid cellular analyses.

Conclusions:

The accelerated kinetics of Tz/TCO-mediated quenching enable rapid cellular analyses.
