1 Lecture 16 OMX - Structured Illumination Microscopy Ian Dobbie x13323 Microscopy Course Lecture 16 1

2 Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy Specificity Sensitivity Non-invasive (in situ & in vivo) Multi-dimension (x, y, z, λ, t,...) Relative localisation & dynamics Single cell to high throughput Spatial resolution is diffraction limited Typical widefield image... Magnification alone does not give more details Microscopy Course Lecture 16 2

3 ...warmup: What determines the resolution of an optical microscope? x/ x/ x/ what objective would you take... Microscopy Course Lecture 16 3

4 ... a bit more difficult...? x/ x/1.0 40x/1.1 12,800 3,004 8,816 What's the difference in brightness?... what objective would you take... Microscopy Course Lecture 16 4

5 Numerical aperture determines... Brightness Fepi = 10 4 NA 4 / Mag 2 (epifluorescence) Lateral Resolution dx,y = 0.61 λ / NA ( nm) Axial Resolution dz = 2 λ / NA 2 ( nm) Only applies under optimal conditions BUT... spherical aberrations (refractive index mismatch, sample) chromatic aberrations stray light out-of-focus blur detector noise... Effective resolution is worse (max. 250 nm lateral and 1 μm axial)...improved to some extent by confocal imaging or deconvolution Microscopy Course Lecture 16 5

6 Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy How Structured Illumination (SI) improves not only resolution... & how it is realized in OMX system Comparison of super-resolution methods (Pros & Cons) 3D structured illumination microscopy Microscopy Course Lecture 16 6

46 No free lunch - trade-offs in super-resolution microscopy (Wide-field) Photon budget Spatial resolution (Contrast) (Confocal) STED ± 60 nm (xy) 3D-SIM ± 120 nm (xy); ± 300 nm (z) Multi-D: z-depth, λ, t Christian Eggeling Low Photodamage (Bleaching) Temporal Resolution (Speed) Localisation Microscopy The best SR-technique is determined by demands of the biological application Spatial resolution is only part of the equation ± 20 nm (xy accuracy); 50 nm (xy, structural res.)
