Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

7.7K
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 bilayer graphene/hexagonal boron nitride superlattices to create tunable bands.
  • Engineered negative differential conductance and a bistable state.
  • Operated the detector at mid-infrared (11.3 µm) and visible (675 nm) wavelengths.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated single-photon counting at both mid-infrared and visible wavelengths.
  • Achieved operation at temperatures up to 25 Kelvin.
  • Observed a mechanism originating from superlattice-induced negative differential velocity.

Conclusions:
