Virtual Supercritical Angle Fluorescence Microscopy for Real Time Membrane Imaging
We present an alternative full field imaging technique based on Supercritical Angle Fluorescence (SAF). When fluorescent emitters are placed in the vicinity of the glass slide, their near-field components become propagative at supercritical angles. This supercritical emission decays sharply the fluorophore/surface distance d with a characteristic decay length of about 100 nm. Selecting the supe...
متن کاملFull-field supercritical angle fluorescence microscopy for live cell imaging.
We introduce a full-field fluorescence imaging technique with axial confinement of about 100 nm at the sample/substrate interface. Contrary to standard surface imaging techniques, this confinement is obtained through emission filtering. This technique is based on supercritical emission selectivity. It can be implemented on any epifluorescence microscope with a commercial high numerical aperture...
متن کامل3D superresolution microscopy by supercritical angle detection.
We present a fundamentally new approach to 3D superresolution microscopy based on the principle of surface-generated fluorescence. This near-field fluorescence is strongly dependent on the distance of fluorophores from the coverslip and can therefore be used to estimate their axial positions. We established a robust and simple implementation of supercritical angle fluorescence detection for sin...
متن کاملSchlieren confocal microscopy for phase-relief imaging.
We demonstrate a simple phase-sensitive microscopic technique capable of imaging the phase gradient of a transparent specimen, based on the Schlieren modulation and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The incident laser is refracted by the phase gradient of the specimen and excites a fluorescence plate behind the specimen to create a secondary illumination; then the fluoresence is modula...
متن کاملNanometer axial resolution by three-dimensional supercritical angle fluorescence microscopy.
We report a noninvasive fluorescence microscopy method and demonstrate nanometer resolution along the optical axis. The technique is based on the influence of the microscope slide on the angular intensity distribution of fluorescence. Axial positions are determined by measuring the proportion of light emitted below the critical angle of total internal reflection, which behaves in a classical wa...
