High-throughput 4D imaging for nanoscale cellular studies

Fluorescence microscopy is an invaluable tool for exploring the structure and function of biological processes. It provides high specificity and contrast for the observation of cellular components tagged with fluorescent molecules in a minimally invasive fashion, allowing the study of live specimens. Furthermore, the development of super resolution (SR) fluorescence microscopy has unlocked the access to spatial resolutions beyond the diffraction limit of visible light (~250nm), fuelling the discovery of new biological structures and dynamics. Nevertheless, achieving resolutions below ~10nm is challenged by multiple trade-offs between spatial and temporal resolutions, depth of observation…
