This work introduced a method for optically imaging intracellular proteins at nanometer spatial resolution and used this method to image specific target proteins in thin sections of lysosomes and mitochondria and in fixed whole cells to image retroviral protein Gag at the plasma membrane.Abstract:
We introduce a method for optically imaging intracellular proteins at nanometer spatial resolution. Numerous sparse subsets of photoactivatable fluorescent protein molecules were activated, localized (to approximately 2 to 25 nanometers), and then bleached. The aggregate position information from all subsets was then assembled into a superresolution image. We used this method--termed photoactivated localization microscopy--to image specific target proteins in thin sections of lysosomes and mitochondria; in fixed whole cells, we imaged vinculin at focal adhesions, actin within a lamellipodium, and the distribution of the retroviral protein Gag at the plasma membrane.read more

Fluorescent microscopy beyond diffraction limits using speckle illumination and joint support recovery
TL;DR: This work presents a novel speckle illumination microscopy technique that overcomes the diffraction limit by exploiting the minimal requirement that is common for all the existing super-resolution microscopy, i.e. that the fluorophore locations do not vary during the acquisition time.

Cryo X-ray microscope with flat sample geometry for correlative fluorescence and nanoscale tomographic imaging.
TL;DR: An incorporated fluorescence light microscope is developed which permits to record fluorescence, bright field and DIC images of cryogenic cells inside the TXM, and improves the spectral resolution by an order of magnitude.

Surpassing the lateral resolution limit by a factor of two using structured illumination microscopy.
TL;DR: Lateral resolution that exceeds the classical diffraction limit by a factor of two is achieved by using spatially structured illumination in a wide‐field fluorescence microscope with strikingly increased clarity compared to both conventional and confocal microscopes.

Precise nanometer localization analysis for individual fluorescent probes
TL;DR: A localization algorithm motivated from least-squares fitting theory is constructed and tested both on image stacks of 30-nm fluorescent beads and on computer-generated images (Monte Carlo simulations), and results show good agreement with the derived precision equation.

Nonlinear structured-illumination microscopy: Wide-field fluorescence imaging with theoretically unlimited resolution
TL;DR: Experimental results show that a 2D point resolution of <50 nm is possible on sufficiently bright and photostable samples, and a recently proposed method in which the nonlinearity arises from saturation of the excited state is experimentally demonstrated.
