Well-established imaging techniques proved that features below the diffraction limit can be observed optically using so-called super-resolution microscopies, which overcome Abbe's resolution limit. In traditional far-field microscopy, the introduction of f ...
Overcoming the classical diffraction limit in optical microscopy is known to be achievable by a variety of far-field and near-field microscopy techniques. More recently, so-called micro-object-based optical super-resolution microscopy techniques have emerg ...
Mitochondrial dynamics refers to the processes of fusion, fission, and transport that aid mitochondria in accomplishing their many roles; including ATP production, oxygen sensing, and homeostasis. Due to their involvement in numerous essential cellular act ...
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 hi ...
We show in this paper that an optically motivated parameterization of the PSF prevents classical degeneracies of the blind deconvolution in widefield fluorescence microscopy and provides a resolution close to SIM. ...
The full understanding of cellular functions requires information about protein numbers for various biomolecular assemblies and their dynamics, which can be partly accessed by super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. Yet, many protein assemblies and cellu ...
Background: Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is a family of methods in optical fluorescence microscopy that can achieve both optical sectioning and super-resolution effects. SIM is a valuable method for high-resolution imaging of fixed cells or tis ...
Recent advances in optical microscopy enable the visualization and quantification of biol. processes within live cells. To a great extent, these imaging techniques remain limited by the phys. properties of the chem. probes that are used as fluorescent tags ...
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy provides unprecedented insight into cellular and subcellular structures. However, going beyond the diffraction barrier comes at a price since most far-field super-resolution imaging techniques trade temporal for spa ...
Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM) techniques, such as PhotoActivated Localization Microscopy (PALM) and STochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy(STORM), can get around the diffraction limited resolution of conventional fluorescent microsco ...
