Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

12.3K
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...

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy

11.0K
Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy or TIRF is an advanced microscopic technique used to visualize fluorophores in samples close to a solid surface with a higher refractive index, such as a glass coverslip. TIRF only allows fluorophores in proximity to the solid surface to be excited. When light from a medium with a lower refractive index (such as air) hits the glass coverslip at a critical angle, the light undergoes total internal reflection stead of passing through the glass.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Optoelectronics
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Organic X-ray scintillators struggle with high-resolution imaging due to challenges in X-ray attenuation, exciton utilization, and self-absorption.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesized multi-component organic scintillators by pairing a TADF sensitizer with TADF, TTA, and fluorescent emitters.
  • Evaluated the spatial resolution and performance of the developed scintillator systems.

Main Results:

  • The triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA)-based system achieved a record spatial resolution of 35.9 lp/mm, the highest for multi-component organic scintillators.
  • The fluorescent system demonstrated 21.6 lp/mm in the near-infrared (NIR) region, a 41% improvement over previous records.
  • Demonstrated excellent control over scintillator properties through strategic pairing of sensitizers and emitters.

Conclusions:

  • A systematic design strategy for high-resolution organic scintillators was established.
  • The developed systems show potential for next-generation advanced X-ray imaging applications.
