Bleaching-independent, whole-cell, 3D and multi-color STED imaging with exchangeable fluorophores
(2018)
We demonstrate bleaching-independent STED microscopy using fluorogenic labels that reversibly bind to their target structure. A constant exchange of labels guarantees the removal of photobleached fluorophores and their replacement by intact fluorophores, thereby circumventing bleaching-related limitations of STED super-resolution imaging in fixed and living cells. Foremost, we achieve a constant labeling density and demonstrate a fluorescence signal for long and theoretically unlimited acquisition times. Using this concept, we demonstrate whole-cell, 3D, multi-color and live cell STED microscopy with up to 100 min acquisition time.
