چکیده
Super-resolution microscopy (SRM) has revolutionized cell biology, enabling visualization of cellular structures with nanometric resolution, single-molecule sensitivity, and multiple colors. Here we review how nanocontainers have been used to enhance these techniques.

Super-Resolution Localization Microscopy
Light microscopy techniques have been vital to our understanding of biological structures and systems since their invention in the late 16 Century. However, conventional light microscopy techniques are limited by the diffraction limit of light, preventing us from seeing anything smaller than approximately 200 nm in x and y and approximately 500 nm in z. Many molecules and structures of interest...
متن کاملSelf-labelling enzymes as universal tags for fluorescence microscopy, super-resolution microscopy and electron microscopy
Research in cell biology demands advanced microscopy techniques such as confocal fluorescence microscopy (FM), super-resolution microscopy (SRM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) is an approach to combine data on the dynamics of proteins or protein complexes in living cells with the ultrastructural details in the low nanometre scale. To...
متن کاملChemically induced photoswitching of fluorescent probes--a general concept for super-resolution microscopy.
We review fluorescent probes that can be photoswitched or photoactivated and are suited for single-molecule localization based super-resolution microscopy. We exploit the underlying photochemical mechanisms that allow photoswitching of many synthetic organic fluorophores in the presence of reducing agents, and study the impact of these on the photoswitching properties of various photoactivatabl...
متن کاملSuper-resolution microscopy of mitochondria.
Mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell, are essential organelles in eukaryotic cells. With their complex inner architecture featuring a smooth outer and a highly convoluted inner membrane, they are challenging objects for microscopy. The diameter of mitochondria is generally close to the resolution limit of conventional light microscopy, rendering diffraction-unlimited super-resolution light...
متن کاملTranslation Microscopy (TRAM) for super-resolution imaging
Super-resolution microscopy is transforming our understanding of biology but accessibility is limited by its technical complexity, high costs and the requirement for bespoke sample preparation. We present a novel, simple and multi-color super-resolution microscopy technique, called translation microscopy (TRAM), in which a super-resolution image is restored from multiple diffraction-limited res...
