Fluorescence axial nanotomography with plasmonics.
We present a novel imaging technique with super-resolution axial sensitivity, exploiting the changes in fluorescence lifetime above a plasmonic substrate. Using conventional confocal fluorescence lifetime imaging, we show that it is possible to deliver down to 6 nm axial position sensitivity of fluorophores in whole biological cell imaging. We employ this technique to map the topography of the ...
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...
متن کاملSmartphone fluorescence spectroscopy.
We demonstrate the first use of smartphone spectrophotometry for readout of fluorescence-based biological assays. We evaluated the smartphone fluorimeter in the context of a fluorescent molecular beacon (MB) assay for detection of specific nucleic acid sequences in a liquid test sample and compared performance against a conventional laboratory fluorimeter. The capability of distinguishing a one...
متن کاملFluorescence and fluorescence microscopy
The concept of specific cellular antigen staining by use of an immunofluorescent technique was introduced by AH COONS and co-workers about 60 years ago. Fluorescent probes are efficient tools and enable the detection of particular components in complex structures of organs including live cells. Under the condition of specific molecular interactions, fluorochrome labeled ligands allow the select...
متن کاملReversibly switchable fluorescence microscopy with enhanced resolution and image contrast.
Confocal microscopy with optical sectioning has revolutionized biological studies by providing sharper images than conventional optical microscopy. Here, we introduce a fluorescence imaging method with enhanced resolution and imaging contrast, which can be implemented using a commercial confocal microscope setup. This approach, called the reversibly switchable photo-imprint microscopy (rsPIM), ...
