Dual-color photon-counting histogram.
We report on the development of dual-color photon-counting histogram (PCH) analysis. Dual-color PCH is an extension of regular PCH and considers the photon counts received in two detection channels instead of one. Because each detection channel records a different color, dual-color PCH distinguishes fluorescent species not only by differences in their brightness, but also according to their col...
متن کاملTwo-photon excitation STED microscopy.
We report sub-diffraction resolution in two-photon excitation (TPE) fluorescence microscopy achieved by merging this technique with stimulated-emission depletion (STED). We demonstrate an easy-to-implement and promising laser combination based on a short-pulse laser source for two-photon excitation and a continuous-wave (CW) laser source for resolution enhancement. Images of fluorescent nanopar...
متن کاملDual-color STED microscopy at 30-nm focal-plane resolution.
Owing to its sensitivity and noninvasiveness, far-field fluorescence microscopy would be almost ideal for biological imaging if the resolution of its established variants were not limited by diffraction toDr l=ð2n sinaÞ, with l denoting the wavelength of light, n the index of refraction, and a the aperture angle of the objective lens. The first concept to overcome these limits in a fundamental ...
متن کاملThe dual-color photon counting histogram with non-ideal photodetectors.
Dual-color photon counting histogram (PCH) analysis utilizes the photon counts in two detection channels to distinguish species by differences in brightness and color. Here we modify the existing dual-color PCH theory, which assumes ideal detectors, to include the non-ideal nature of the detector. Specifically, we address the effects of deadtime and afterpulsing. Both effects modify the shape o...
متن کاملTwo-color STED microscopy in living cells
Diffraction-unlimited resolution provided by Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy allows for imaging cellular processes in living cells that are not visible by conventional microscopy. However, it has so far not been possible to study dynamic nanoscale interactions because multicolor live cell STED microscopy has yet to be demonstrated and suitable labeling technologies and protocols...
