The synthesis, fluorogenic characterization, and labeling application of four tetrazine-quenched cyanine probes with emission maxima in the red-far red range is reported. Fluorescence of the cyanine-cores is quenched via through-bond-energy-transfer (TBET) exerted by a bioorthogonal tetrazine unit. Upon bioorthogonal labeling reaction with cyclooctyne tagged proteins, the quenching effect ceases, and thus the fluorescence reinstates, resulting in an increase in fluorescence intensity. As a rare example among indocyanines, one of our new probes was found suitable in STED-based super-resolution imaging. The applicability of this fluorogenic Tet-Cy3 probe was therefore further demonstrated in the bioorthogonal labeling of cytoskeletal protein, actin, with subsequent super-resolution microscopy (STED) imaging even under no-wash conditions.

This review focused on mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), a powerful tool in food analysis, covering its ion source schemes and procedures and their applications in food quality, safety, and nutrition to provide detailed insights into these aspects. The review presented a detailed introduction to both commonly used and emerging ionization sources, including nanoparticle laser desorption/ionization (NPs-LDI), air flow-assisted ionization (AFAI), desorption ionization with through-hole alumina membrane (DIUTHAME), plasma-assisted laser desorption ionization (PALDI), and low-temperature plasma (LTP). In the MSI process, particular emphasis was placed on quantitative MSI (QMSI) and super-resolution algorithms.

The time-multiplexing super-resolution concept requires post-processing for extracting the super-resolved image. Moreover, to perform the post-processing image restoration, one needs to know the exact high-resolution encoding pattern. Both of these limiting conditions are overcome by the method and experiment reported in this letter.

High-resolution non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging under nanosecond time-resolution conditions is challenging in applications. We propose a novel NLOS imaging method consisting of deconvolution modified iterative back projection and virtual modulated range migration for low time-resolution system, obtaining super-resolution (SR) histogram signal and high-resolution NLOS images sequentially. The proposed method is applicable to both confocal and non-confocal configurations.

Plasmonic structured illumination microscopy (PSIM) is a super-resolution technique that utilizes surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) with higher frequency as the structured light; thus, it is able to break the diffraction limit with a 3-4 times resolution enhancement. However, the low efficiency of near-field fluorescence collection results in a low imaging signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of PSIM. In this paper, we propose a method to enhance the performance of PSIM with surface plasmon coupled emission (SPCE).

Super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging (SOFI) rapidly generates super-resolution images by analyzing fluorescence intensity fluctuations. However, fluorophores for high-order SOFI applications are very rare. Here, we report ultrasmall semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots) to achieve high-order SOFI at single-particle and cellular levels.
