Full-field supercritical angle fluorescence microscopy for live cell imaging.
We introduce a full-field fluorescence imaging technique with axial confinement of about 100 nm at the sample/substrate interface. Contrary to standard surface imaging techniques, this confinement is obtained through emission filtering. This technique is based on supercritical emission selectivity. It can be implemented on any epifluorescence microscope with a commercial high numerical aperture...
متن کاملVirtual Supercritical Angle Fluorescence Microscopy for Real Time Membrane Imaging
We present an alternative full field imaging technique based on Supercritical Angle Fluorescence (SAF). When fluorescent emitters are placed in the vicinity of the glass slide, their near-field components become propagative at supercritical angles. This supercritical emission decays sharply the fluorophore/surface distance d with a characteristic decay length of about 100 nm. Selecting the supe...
متن کاملLive-cell Imaging Using Fluorescence Microscopy
The ever increasing abundance of different fluorescent proteins and vital dyes that are available to researchers today make it possible to study a large variety of dynamic biological processes in live-cells [1, 2]. Many proteins of interest can be studied by expressing fluorescent fusion proteins in cells, either transiently by transfection or viral infection or permanently using transgenic ani...
متن کاملNanometer axial resolution by three-dimensional supercritical angle fluorescence microscopy.
We report a noninvasive fluorescence microscopy method and demonstrate nanometer resolution along the optical axis. The technique is based on the influence of the microscope slide on the angular intensity distribution of fluorescence. Axial positions are determined by measuring the proportion of light emitted below the critical angle of total internal reflection, which behaves in a classical wa...
متن کاملEnhanced live cell imaging via photonic crystal enhanced fluorescence microscopy.
We demonstrate photonic crystal enhanced fluorescence (PCEF) microscopy as a surface-specific fluorescence imaging technique to study the adhesion of live cells by visualizing variations in cell-substrate gap distance. This approach utilizes a photonic crystal surface incorporated into a standard microscope slide as the substrate for cell adhesion, and a microscope integrated with a custom illu...
