چکیده
Stochastic analysis of superresolution microscopy data obtained from receptor trafficking on neurons reveals novel organized molecular assembly generating long range forces. Would that have been possible with single particle tracking? How have we characterized these molecular assemblies?

Superresolution microscopy for microbiology.
This review provides a practical introduction to superresolution microscopy from the perspective of microbiological research. Because of the small sizes of bacterial cells, superresolution methods are particularly powerful and suitable for revealing details of cellular structures that are not resolvable under conventional fluorescence light microscopy. Here we describe the methodological concep...
متن کاملSingle particle maximum likelihood reconstruction from superresolution microscopy images
Point localization superresolution microscopy enables fluorescently tagged molecules to be imaged beyond the optical diffraction limit, reaching single molecule localization precisions down to a few nanometers. For small objects whose sizes are few times this precision, localization uncertainty prevents the straightforward extraction of a structural model from the reconstructed images. We demon...
متن کاملDevelopment and Application of Two-Photon Excitation Stimulated Emission Depletion Microscopy for Superresolution Fluorescence Imaging in Thick Tissue
Two-photon laser scanning microscopy (2PLSM) allows fluorescence imaging in thick biological samples where absorption and scattering typically degrade resolution and signal collection of 1-photon imaging approaches. The spatial resolution of conventional 2PLSM is limited by diffraction, and the near-infrared wavelengths used for excitation in 2PLSM preclude the accurate imaging of many small su...
متن کاملExtracting microtubule networks from superresolution single-molecule localization microscopy data
Microtubule filaments form ubiquitous networks that specify spatial organization in cells. However, quantitative analysis of microtubule networks is hampered by their complex architecture, limiting insights into the interplay between their organization and cellular functions. Although superresolution microscopy has greatly facilitated high-resolution imaging of microtubule filaments, extraction...
متن کاملSuperresolution microscopy in heart - cardiac nanoscopy.
Detailed understanding of the adaptive nature of cardiac cells in health and disease requires investigation of proteins and membranes in their native physiological environment, ideally by noninvasive optical methods. However, conventional light microscopy does not resolve the spatial characteristics of small fluorescently labeled protein or membrane structures in cells. Due to diffraction limit...
