Article Synopsis
- STED microscopy offers subdiffraction resolution by using stimulated emission, but high laser power restricts its use in live-cell studies.
- The traditional STED microscopy is complex and costly, making it less accessible for many researchers.
- The new continuous-wave STED (CW-STED) system simplifies the technology, reduces costs, and enables low-power superresolution imaging, thus enhancing its potential for biological applications.
Stimulated emission depletion (STED) nanoscopy is a promising super-resolution imaging technique for microstructure imaging; however, the performance of super-resolution techniques critically depends on the properties of the fluorophores (photostable fluorophores) used. In this study, a suitable probe for improving the resolution of STED nanoscopy was investigated. Quantum dots (QDs) typically exhibit good photobleaching resistance characteristics.
