چکیده
Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy fluorescence— optical sectioning limiting the excitation volume to the close vicinity of the interface by sending the excitation light at an incident angle higher than the critical angle; usually implemented using a high numerical aperture (NA) objective. high signal-to-background for nearsurface structures monitoring plasma membrane processes single-molecule detection

Recording and controlling the 4D light field in a microscope using microlens arrays.
By inserting a microlens array at the intermediate image plane of an optical microscope, one can record four-dimensional light fields of biological specimens in a single snapshot. Unlike a conventional photograph, light fields permit manipulation of viewpoint and focus after the snapshot has been taken, subject to the resolution of the camera and the diffraction limit of the optical system. By ...
متن کاملHolographic Microscopy for 3D Tracking of Bacteria
Understanding when, how, and if bacteria swim is key to understanding critical ecological and biological processes, from carbon cycling to infection. Imaging motility by traditional light microscopy is limited by focus depth, requiring cells to be constrained in z. Holographic microscopy offers an instantaneous 3D snapshot of a large sample volume, and is therefore ideal in principle for quanti...
متن کاملThe lighthouse at the end of the chromosome*
Fluorescence microscopy can be used to assess the dynamic localization and intensity of single entities in vitro or in living cells. It has been applied with aplomb to many different cellular processes and has significantly enlightened our understanding of the heterogeneity and complexity of biological systems. Recently, high-resolution fluorescence microscopy has been brought to bear on telome...
متن کاملA cell biologist's guide to high resolution imaging.
Fluorescence microscopy is particularly well suited to the study of cell biology, due to its noninvasive nature, high sensitivity detection of specific molecules, and high spatial and temporal resolution. In recent years, there has been an important transition from imaging the static distributions of molecules as a snapshot in time in fixed material to live-cell imaging of the dynamics of molec...
متن کاملSpectroscopic near-field microscopy using frequency combs in the mid-infrared.
We introduce a new concept of spectroscopic near-field optical microscopy that records broad infrared spectra at each pixel during scanning. Two coherent beams with harmonic frequency-comb spectra are employed, one for illuminating the scanning tip, the other as reference for multi-heterodyne detection of the scattered light. Our implementation yields 200 cm(-1) wide amplitude and phase spectra...
