Stimulated emission depletion (STED) nanoscopy is a promising fluorescence microscopy to
detect unresolvable structures at the nanoscale level and then achieve a superior imaging …

Super-resolution microscopy has become an increasingly popular and robust tool across the
life sciences to study minute cellular structures and processes. However, with the increasing …

Although biological imaging is mostly performed in aqueous media, it is hardly ever
considered that water acts as a classic fluorescence quencher for organic fluorophores. By …

Despite its short history, diffraction-unlimited fluorescence microscopy techniques have
already made a substantial imprint in the biological sciences. In this review, we describe …

Water-soluble organic fluorophores are widely used as labels in biological systems.
However, in many cases these fluorophores can interact strongly with lipid bilayers …

We report on a fiber laser-based stimulated emission-depletion microscope providing down
to∼ 20 nm resolution in raw data images as well as 15–19 nm diameter probing areas in …

Super-resolution imaging (SRI) is of great significance to break the Abbe's diffraction limit,
enabling visualization and dynamic monitoring with ultra-high resolution in both material …

The review deals with commercially available organic dyes possessing large Stokes shifts
and their applications as fluorescent labels in optical microscopy based on stimulated …

The majority of studies of the living cell rely on capturing images using fluorescence
microscopy. Unfortunately, for centuries, diffraction of light was limiting the spatial resolution …

Photoswitchable fluorescent probes are key elements of newly developed super-resolution
fluorescence microscopy techniques that enable far-field interrogation of biological systems …
