Super-resolution microscopy includes a variety of microscopy techniques that increase the resolving ability of a light microscope well beyond the classical limits dictated by the diffraction barrier.
The precise cellular localization of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA and replication partners has been elusive. Here, the authors use super-resolution fluorescence microscopy and specific labeling to reveal the nanoscale structure of viral replication organelles.
The structure of the Golgi and the localization of glycosylation enzymes remain largely elusive. Here, the authors use super-resolution microscopy to show that the Golgi is composed of small dynamic units which have rapidly moving zones of glycosylation enzymes.
HBmito Crimson has the ability to localize specifically on the inner mitochondrial membrane and emit light, while its superior photostability enables STED imaging.
Tools to segment cellular and sub-cellular neuronal structures can be hindered by high neuronal density and low signal-to-noise in thick samples. Here, the authors present SENPAI, a framework for imaging and segmenting neurons from conventional and super-resolution microscopy of clarified brain tissues.
Cancer cells adjust the composition of their glycocalyx to increase its thickness and create a physical barrier that shields them from immune recognition and engagement.
We introduce GelMap, a flexible workflow for reporting deformations and anisotropy in expansion microscopy. By intrinsically calibrating the expansion hydrogel using a fluorescent grid that scales with expansion and deforms with anisotropy, GelMap enables the reliable quantification of expansion factors and correction of deformations.
An expansion microscopy technique called ChromExM offers detailed views into the organization chromatin and associated gene expression machinery in embryos.
