Quantitative pupil analysis in stimulated emission depletion microscopy using phase retrieval.
The resolution attainable with stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy greatly depends on the quality of the STED laser focus. So far, visual inspection of a measured STED focus has been the only convenient means of gauging the source of aberrations. Here we describe a method, requiring no instrument modifications, for obtaining an equivalent to the complex pupil function at the back ap...
متن کاملStimulated emission depletion microscopy with optical fibers
Imaging at the nanoscale and/or at remote locations holds great promise for studies in fields as disparate as the life sciences and materials sciences. One such microscopy technique, stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy, is one of several fluorescence based imaging techniques that offers resolution beyond the diffractionlimit. All current implementations of STED microscopy, however, ...
متن کاملSpectroscopic rationale for efficient stimulated-emission depletion microscopy fluorophores.
We report a rationale for identifying superior dyes for stimulated-emission depletion (STED) microscopy. We compared the dyes pPDI and pTDI, which displayed excellent photostability in single-molecule spectroscopy. Surprisingly, their photostability and performance in STED microscopy differed significantly. While single pTDI molecules could be visualized with excellent resolution (35 nm), pPDI ...
متن کاملStimulated Emission Depletion (STED) Microscopy: from Theory to Practice
In recent years, various methods have been proposed to increase the resolution of fluorescence microscopy beyond the diffraction limit of light. Amongst them, Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy, which relies on a purely physical concept of fluorescence depletion could, in theory, achieve unlimited resolution independent of the wavelength of light. In this chapter, we review the fun...
متن کاملDefining the Noise-limited-resolution for Stimulated Emission Depletion Microscopy
With recent developments in microscopy, such as stimulated emission deletion (STED) microscopy, far-field imaging at resolutions better than the diffraction limit is now a commercially available technique. Here, we analyse how the interplay between shot noise, thermal noise, the saturation intensity of a fluorescent label, and the damage threshold of the sample changes the maximum resolution of...
