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

TL;DR: This work shows how magneto-optical spin detection can be used to determine the location of a spin associated with a single nitrogen-vacancy centre in diamond with nanometre resolution under ambient conditions, and demonstrates the use of a single diamond spin as a scanning probe magnetometer to map nanoscale magnetic field variations.

A chemical method for fast and sensitive detection of DNA synthesis in vivo
TL;DR: The method does not require sample fixation or DNA denaturation and permits good structural preservation, and the small size of the fluorescent azides used for detection results in a high degree of specimen penetration, allowing the staining of whole-mount preparations of large tissue and organ explants.

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.

TL;DR: The results strongly support a hand-over-hand model of motility, not an inchworm model, which moves processively on actin.
