Dynamic super-resolution microscope

The super-resolution microscope is a new generation of microscopes known as nanoscopes. Dynamic super-resolution microscopy is one of the super resolution microscopy techniques alongside the:

• STED ;

• STORM ;

• PALM ;

• and SIM techniques.

The dynamic super-resolution microscopy techniques

molecular movement can be monitored using a fluorescent antibody directed against the proteins of interest. If they are sufficiently dilute the antibodies only label a few isolated proteins and they can then be monitored at a speed of 20 images per second.
