Article Synopsis
  • Dark-field microscopy (DFM) is popular for high-contrast imaging of specimens without labels, but it faces limitations in optical alignment and resolution.
  • The new technique, deep-learning assisted plasmonic dark-field microscopy (DAPD), combines plasmonic dark-field microscopy with a deep-learning approach to achieve super-resolution imaging.
  • DAPD has shown a resolution improvement of 2.8 times for label-free specimens and offers a compact and enhanced alternative to traditional DFM methods.

Cellular function is controlled through intricate networks of signals, which lead to the myriad pathways governing cell fate. Fluorescent biosensors have enabled the study of these signaling pathways in living systems across temporal and spatial scales. Over the years there has been an explosion in the number of fluorescent biosensors, as they have become available for numerous targets, utilized across spectral space, and suited for various imaging techniques.
