Super-Resolution Microscopy: Compressed Sensing Allows Imaging of Live Cell Structures

Despite many achievements in the field of super-resolution microscopy in the past few years with spatial resolution advances, live-cell imaging has remained a challenge because of the need for high temporal resolution. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and University of California San Francisco have advanced scientists' ability to view a clear picture of a single cellular structure in motion. more

Super-Resolution Imaging: Researchers Produce ‘Primer’ to Guide the Use of STORM

Though it was quickly adopted by the scientific community, Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and of Physics Xiaowei Zhuang worried that researchers using the system of technology of super-resolution, stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) she developed were not producing high-quality images because they were not using the technology properly. more

Multi Color Laser Light Source for Super Resolution Microscopy

The Agilent Monolithic Laser Combiner MLC 400, distributed by Laser 2000 Europe, is a perfect solution for confocal, super resolution and fluorescence microscopy. Long-life DPSS and diode lasers are efficiently combined in a single output fiber, which is coupled to the microscope. With the integrated AOTF fast switching between the wavelengths and fast regulation of the output power is possible.
The unique design includes permanent factory alignment. No more losing time with adjusting lasers instead of taking microscope images. more

Super Resolution Microscopy: Light-independent Switching of Fluorescent Probes

Super Resolution Microscopy: a team of scientists headed by Dr. Dirk-Peter Herten at Heidelberg University's Institute of Physical Chemistry and members of the Cluster of Excellence "CellNetworks" have devised a new method in which light-dependent processes are replaced by chemical reactions to mark cellular structures for high-resolution optical microscopy. This method opens up new application vistas for fluorescence microscopy. more

To See Individual Molecules

Researchers are finding that the ability to see very small things - objects 20,000 times thinner than a human hair - can help answer big biological questions. That's why Jennifer Ross, a University of Massachusetts Amherst physicist (USA), is building a new microscope that achieves super resolution, allowing scientists to see molecules 100 times smaller than are visible using traditional light microscopy. Ross is particularly interested in using the microscope to determine how a specialized protein called tubulin controls cell division. more
