Comparing Microscopy Techniques: This image contrasts conventional fluorescent microscopy with STORM processing, highlighting how STORM achieves superior resolution by activating and precisely ...

In a conventional microscope, all the fluorophores in a sample are fluorescent leading a smooth image. However, in case of STORM, at a given point of time, only a few fluorophores are switched on ...

Fluorescence laser scanning confocal microscopy enables neuroscientists to obtain three-dimensional images of neurons at extremely high resolution. The pinhole of 1 airy unit (1 AU) cuts out ...

In December 2009, Nikon announced it had signed an exclusive licensing agreement with Harvard University granting Nikon the rights to use the Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM ...

Super high-resolution light microscopy won, hands-down, Nature magazine’s 2008 method of the year designation. This set of techniques encompasses techniques such as STORM (stochastic optical ...

That barrier has now been breached, thanks to a technique christened spectrally resolved stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (SR-STORM) developed by a team at Lawrence Berkeley National ...

Thus, once the general organizational framework was established by SIM, STORM microscopy was used to obtain a considerably higher resolution structure of a key component revealing unexpected details.

(Nanowerk News) It is the holy grail of light microscopy: improving the resolving power of this method such that one can individually discern molecules that are very close to each other. Scientists ...
