Fluorescence imaging with one nanometer accuracy: application to molecular motors.
We introduce the technique of FIONA, fluorescence imaging with one nanometer accuracy. This is a fluorescence technique that is able to localize the position of a single dye within approximately 1 nm in the x-y plane. It is done simply by taking the point spread function of a single fluorophore excited with wide field illumination and locating the center of the fluorescent spot by a two-dimensi...
متن کاملFluorescence imaging with one nanometer accuracy: in vitro and in vivo studies of molecular motors.
Traditional microscopy techniques are limited by the wave-like characteristics of light, which dictate that about 250 nm (or roughly half the wavelength of the light) is the smallest distance by which two identical objects can be separated while still being able to distinguish between them. Since most biological molecules are much smaller than this limit, traditional light microscopes are gener...
متن کاملFluorescence Imaging with One Nanometer Accuracy
The microscope allows scientists to peer into small objects. With new organic dyes and fluorescent proteins, the microscope has improved our ability to extract biological information from selectively labeled proteins, DNA, and organelles. However, a physical property of light, called diffraction, has made it nearly impossible to see objects smaller than the diffraction limit, which is about 250...
متن کاملAn Imaging Displacement Sensor with Nanometer Accuracy
An imaging displacement sensor (IDS) has been developed that can measure the displacement with an accuracy of 30 nm in 0.03 s with the precision improving to 1 nm for averaging times of 100 s. The IDS consists simply of a light emitting diode (LED) pinhole collimator and a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera chip. The position accuracy is better than 0.05% over the few mm CCD size with deviation...
متن کاملFluorescence Imaging with Nanometer Precision Using Spectral Self-interference Microscopy
Spectral Self-Interference Fluorescence Microscopy (SSFM) has been shown to allow nanometer-scale localization of fluorescent layers placed above a reflecting substrate. A MonteCarlo analysis is used to show how this high localization accuracy can still be expected at the low signal levels associated with single-molecule studies. Discrimination of fluorophores separated by a few tens of nanomet...
