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...

Scanning Electron Microscopy

5.2K
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to study the surface features of a sample by using an electron beam that scans the sample surface in a two-dimensional manner. Typically, areas between ~1 centimeter to 5 micrometers in width can be imaged. SEM can be used to image bacteria, viruses, tissues as well as larger samples like insects. Conventional SEM gives a magnification ranging from 20X to 30,000X and spatial resolution of 50 to 100 nanometers.

Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Optical Microscopy
  • Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Interferometric scattering (iSCAT) microscopy offers sensitive, label-free imaging of nano-objects.
  • Current iSCAT relies on non-resonant nano-objects, limiting signal contrast to physical properties like volume and weight.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and demonstrate a novel resonant scattering enhanced iSCAT microscopy technique.
  • To leverage optical resonance in nanoparticles to dramatically improve iSCAT signal contrast and sensitivity.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized gold nanorods (NRs) with tunable longitudinal surface plasmon resonances for resonant scattering.
  • Investigated the wavelength dependence of iSCAT signal contrast near the resonance condition.
  • Performed theoretical analysis and numerical simulations of factors influencing the iSCAT signal.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a significant increase in iSCAT signal contrast by exploiting optical resonance.
  • Observed dramatic signal contrast variations within a narrow 20 nm wavelength range due to resonant polarizability.
  • Demonstrated the strong influence of optical resonance on nanoparticle iSCAT signals.

Conclusions:

  • Developed a resonant scattering enhanced iSCAT microscopy approach.
  • This technique offers a promising pathway for resonant sensing, imaging, and spectroscopy of nanoscopic objects.
  • The findings provide fundamental insights into optical resonance effects on iSCAT signals.
