STED microscope with Spiral Phase Contrast
Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy enables superresolution imaging of fluorescently marked nano-structures in vivo. Biological investigations are often hindered by the difficulty of relating super-resolved structures to other non-labeled features. Here we demonstrate that the similarity in optical design of Spiral Phase Contrast (SPC) and STED microscopes allows straightforward imp...
متن کاملFluorescence correlation spectroscopy with a total internal reflection fluorescence STED microscope (TIRF-STED-FCS).
We characterize a novel fluorescence microscope which combines the high spatial discrimination of a total internal reflection epi-fluorescence (epi-TIRF) microscope with that of stimulated emission depletion (STED) nanoscopy. This combination of high axial confinement and dynamic-active lateral spatial discrimination of the detected fluorescence emission promises imaging and spectroscopy of the...
متن کاملA Large Range Metrological Atomic Force Microscope with Nanometer Uncertainty
A metrological atomic force microscope (AFM) with 50mm×50mm×2mm scan range has been designed and constructed. In this paper, the structure and preliminary results are introduced. The precise movement of the sample is driven by a piezoelectric motion stage and airbearing stage for different scanning range. Four multi-pass homodyne interferometers attached to the metrological frame measure the re...
متن کاملBirefringent device converts a standard scanning microscope into a STED microscope that also maps molecular orientation.
Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy usually employs a scanning excitation beam that is superimposed by a donut-shaped STED beam for keeping the fluorophores at the periphery of the excitation spot dark. Here, we introduce a simple birefringent device that produces a donut-shaped focal spot with suitable polarization for STED, while leaving the excitation spot virtually intact. The d...
متن کاملA STED Microscope Designed for Routine Biomedical Applications
We present a multi-color STED fluorescence microscope providing far-field optical resolution down to 20 nm for biomedical research. The optical design comprises fiber lasers, beam scanners, and a set of active and passive polarizing elements that cooperatively yield an optically robust system for routinely imaging samples at subdiffraction length scales.
