Super-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 کاملSuper-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 کاملMulti-plane super-resolution microscopy
Understanding cell functions is the major goal of molecular biology, which intends to elucidate the interactions between biomolecules at a subcellular level. One of the widely used techniques in molecular biology is fluorescence microscopy, which offers high specificity and sensitivity at the submicrometer spatial scale but is limited by diffraction to about 200nm lateral resolution, which is i...
متن کاملIntroduction to super-resolution microscopy.
In this review, we introduce the principles of spatial resolution improvement in super-resolution microscopies that were recently developed. These super-resolution techniques utilize the interaction of light and fluorescent probes in order to break the diffraction barrier that limits spatial resolution. The imaging property of each super-resolution technique is also compared with the correspond...
متن کاملMirror-enhanced super-resolution microscopy
Axial excitation confinement beyond the diffraction limit is crucial to the development of next-generation, super-resolution microscopy. STimulated Emission Depletion (STED) nanoscopy offers lateral super-resolution using a donut-beam depletion, but its axial resolution is still over 500 nm. Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy is widely used for single-molecule localization, but i...
