A METHOD FOR SINGLE MOLECULE LOCALIZATION MICROSCOPY AT ÅNGSTROM RESOLUTION BASED ON CONVENTIONAL FLUOROPHORE-LABELED ANTIBODY PROBES
Method for single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) based on conventional fluorescent binder probes, including primary or secondary antibodies, that are applied in a gradual stepwise fashion to a fixed biological sample. In each step of the process, a low dose of the probe is applied in solution to the fixed biological sample to sparsely label target epitopes followed by sample washing to remove the free probe. The remaining bound fluorescent probes that are sparsely distributed over the sample are then imaged until they are photobleached. The high light collection efficiency from each probe in this approach (limited only by photobleaching) enables few Ångstrom lateral resolution and few nm axial resolution. Photobleaching of the probes at the end of each step generates a clean slate for application of the next step in the process, as well as the possibility for applying one or more probes in a consecutive fashion to the same sample for serial SMLM.
