In Situ Imaging of Proteins Using DNA-PAINT Super-Resolution Microscopy
摘要
The spatial resolution of conventional light microscopy is restricted by the diffraction limit to hundreds of nanometers. Super-resolution microscopy enables single digit nanometer resolution by circumventing the diffraction limit of conventional light microscopy. DNA point accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (DNA-PAINT) belongs to the family of single-molecule localization super-resolution approaches. Unique features of DNA-PAINT are that it allows for sub-nanometer resolution, spectrally unlimited multiplexing, proximity detection, and quantitative counting of target molecules. Here, we describe prerequisites for efficient DNA-PAINT microscopy.
