Spectroscopic rationale for efficient stimulated-emission depletion microscopy fluorophores.
We report a rationale for identifying superior dyes for stimulated-emission depletion (STED) microscopy. We compared the dyes pPDI and pTDI, which displayed excellent photostability in single-molecule spectroscopy. Surprisingly, their photostability and performance in STED microscopy differed significantly. While single pTDI molecules could be visualized with excellent resolution (35 nm), pPDI ...
متن کاملStimulated emission depletion microscopy with optical fibers
Imaging at the nanoscale and/or at remote locations holds great promise for studies in fields as disparate as the life sciences and materials sciences. One such microscopy technique, stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy, is one of several fluorescence based imaging techniques that offers resolution beyond the diffractionlimit. All current implementations of STED microscopy, however, ...
متن کاملDefining the Noise-limited-resolution for Stimulated Emission Depletion Microscopy
With recent developments in microscopy, such as stimulated emission deletion (STED) microscopy, far-field imaging at resolutions better than the diffraction limit is now a commercially available technique. Here, we analyse how the interplay between shot noise, thermal noise, the saturation intensity of a fluorescent label, and the damage threshold of the sample changes the maximum resolution of...
متن کاملStimulated Emission Depletion (STED) Microscopy: from Theory to Practice
In recent years, various methods have been proposed to increase the resolution of fluorescence microscopy beyond the diffraction limit of light. Amongst them, Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy, which relies on a purely physical concept of fluorescence depletion could, in theory, achieve unlimited resolution independent of the wavelength of light. In this chapter, we review the fun...
متن کاملPlasmonic Nanoprobes for Stimulated Emission Depletion Nanoscopy.
Plasmonic nanoparticles influence the absorption and emission processes of nearby emitters due to local enhancements of the illuminating radiation and the photonic density of states. Here, we use the plasmon resonance of metal nanoparticles in order to enhance the stimulated depletion of excited molecules for super-resolved nanoscopy. We demonstrate stimulated emission depletion (STED) nanoscop...
