Macromolecular-scale resolution in biological fluorescence microscopy.
We demonstrate far-field fluorescence microscopy with a focal-plane resolution of 15-20 nm in biological samples. The 10- to 12-fold multilateral increase in resolution below the diffraction barrier has been enabled by the elimination of molecular triplet state excitation as a major source of photobleaching of a number of dyes in stimulated emission depletion microscopy. Allowing for relaxation...
متن کاملExtended resolution fluorescence microscopy.
Fluorescence microscopy is an essential tool of modern biology, but, like all forms of optical imaging, it is subject to physical limits on its resolving power. In recent years, several exciting techniques have been introduced to exceed these limits, including standing wave microscopy, 4Pi confocal microscopy, I5M and structured illumination microscopy. Several such techniques have been definit...
متن کاملConcepts for nanoscale resolution in fluorescence microscopy.
Spatio-temporal visualization of cellular structures by fluorescence microscopy has become indispensable in biology. However, the resolution of conventional fluorescence microscopy is limited by diffraction to about 180 nm in the focal plane and to about 500 nm along the optic axis. Recently, concepts have emerged that overcome the diffraction resolution barrier fundamentally. Formed on the bas...
متن کاملSubdiffraction resolution in far-field fluorescence microscopy.
We overcame the resolution limit of scanning far-field fluorescence microscopy by disabling the fluorescence from the outer part of the focal spot. Whereas a near-UV pulse generates a diffraction-limited distribution of excited molecules, a spatially offset pulse quenches the excited molecules from the outer part of the focus through stimulated emission. This results in a subdiffraction-sized e...
متن کاملA guide to super-resolution fluorescence microscopy
For centuries, cell biology has been based on light microscopy and at the same time been limited by its optical resolution. However, several new technologies have been developed recently that bypass this limit. These new super-resolution technologies are either based on tailored illumination, nonlinear fluorophore responses, or the precise localization of single molecules. Overall, these new ap...
