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.

Recently, light microscopy has been revolutionized by novel approaches that circumvent the diffraction barrier the resolution limit of optical microscopes. Most of these novel methods are based on light-controlled switching of the labels fluorescent states and therefore require use of additional or more intense laser excitation lines. To overcome these demands a new probe has been developed which is controlled by a reversible chemical reaction thereby reducing the demands on the microscopes.

Synapses are the switch-points in our brain for information transmission, learning and memory. And there is evidence to suggest that changes and malfunctions in synapses are partly responsible for a number of neurological and psychological disorders. Neuroscientists already know a lot about how signals are transmitted from neuron to neuron. Yet many synaptic processes are still not fully understood. Dr.

The webinar "Super-Resolution - Single Molecule Detection with Leica SR GSD" will be presented by Leica Microsystems on imaging-git.com/Leica on 12th May 2011, 5 p.m (registration).
Using ground state depletion technology (GSDIM), it is possible to control the emission of fluorochromes and localize the position of single molecules down to a precision of 20nm.
This makes it possible to reconstruct fluorescent images with a resolution far beyond the diffraction limit.

Live-Cell Super-Resolution with dSTORM: A detailed microscopic characterization of cellular structures is important to understand cellular function. Conventional microscopy in some cases is limited by the achievable spatial resolution of about 200 nm in the imaging plane, which is not sufficient to reveal details at the near-molecular level. This is important if the organization of proteins in small organelles, clusters or machineries are studied.
