Nanometer-localized multiple single-molecule fluorescence microscopy.
Fitting the image of a single molecule to the point spread function of an optical system greatly improves the precision with which single molecules can be located. Centroid localization with nanometer precision has been achieved when a sufficient number of photons are collected. However, if multiple single molecules reside within a diffraction-limited spot, this localization approach does not w...
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 کاملNanometer resolution imaging by single molecule switching
T he fluorescence intensity of single molecules can change dramatically even under constant laser excitation. The phenomenon is frequently called as 'blinking,' and involves molecules switching between high-and low-intensity states (1). In addition to spontaneous blinking, the fluorescence of some special fluor-ophores, such as cyanine dyes and photoactivatable fluorescent proteins, can be swit...
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...
متن کاملFluorescence 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...
