Super-resolution orientation estimation and localization of fluorescent dipoles using 3-D steerable filters

Michaël Unser, Theo Lasser, Iwan Märki, François Aguet, Stefan Geissbühler

Fluorophores that are fixed during image acquisition produce a diffraction pattern that is characteristic of the orientation of the fluorophore’s underlying dipole. Fluorescence localization microscopy techniques such as PALM and STORM achieve super-resolu ...

Steerable filters for orientation estimation and localization of fluorescent dipoles

Michaël Unser, Theo Lasser, François Aguet, Iwan Märki, Stefan Geissbühler

Fluorescence localization microscopy (i.e., PALM, STORM) has enabled optical imaging at nanometer-scale resolutions. The localization algorithms used in these techniques rely on fitting a 2-D Gaussian to the in-focus image of individual fluorophores. For f ...

High volume confinement in two-photon total-internal- reflection fluorescence correlation spectroscopy

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Iwan Märki

We report results on two-photon total-internal-reflection fluorescence correlation spectroscopy with radially polarized light. The combination of liquid crystal spatial light modulator, providing radial polarization, with ultrafast laser (picosecond Nd:GdV ...

Targeted Photoswitchable Probe for Nanoscopy of Biological Structures

Theo Lasser, Kai Johnsson, Iwan Märki, Claudio Dellagiacoma, Stefan Geissbühler, Noelia Laura Bocchio, Grazvydas Lukinavicius, Sambashiva Banala

We introduce a photoswitchable O6-benzylguanine derivative and demonstrate its use for super-resolution microscopy of SNAP-tagged proteins based on single fluorophore localization. Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) reveals SNAP-tagged mi ...

Triplet imaging of oxygen consumption during the contraction of a single smooth muscle cell (A7r5)

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Theo Lasser, Kai Johnsson, Marcel Leutenegger, Iwan Märki, Boris Hinz, Aurélie Formey de Saint Louvent, Thiemo Spielmann, Matthias Geissbühler

Triplet imaging is a novel optical technique that allows investigating oxy- gen metabolism at the single cell and the sub-cellular level. The method combines high temporal and spatial resolution, which are required for the monitoring of fast kinetics of ox ...

Three-dimensional nano-localization of single fluorescent emitters

Theo Lasser, François Aguet, Iwan Märki, Stefan Geissbühler, Noelia Laura Bocchio

We present a combination of self-interference microscopy with lateral super-resolution microscopy and introduce a novel approach for localizing a single nano-emitter to within a few nanometers in all three dimensions over a large axial range. We demonstrat ...

Tuning the resonance of a photonic crystal microcavity with an AFM probe

Hans Peter Herzig, Iwan Märki

We present theoretical and experimental results on switching and tuning of a two-dimensional photonic crystal resonant microcavity by means of a silicon AFM tip, probing the highly localized optical field in the vicinity of the cavity. On-off switching and ...

Nonlinear Correlation Spectroscopy (NLCS)

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Luigi Bonacina, Iwan Märki, Noelia Laura Bocchio

We present a novel concept for optical spectroscopy called nonlinear correlation spectroscopy (NLCS). NLCS analyses coherent field fluctuations of the second and third harmonic light generated by diffusing nanoparticles. Particles based on noncentrosymmetr ...

Super-resolved position and orientation estimation of fluorescent dipoles using 3-D steerable filters

Theo Lasser, François Aguet, Iwan Märki, Stefan Geissbühler

The diffraction patterns of fixed fluorophores are characteristic of the orientation of the molecules' underlying dipole. Fluorescence localization microscopy techniques such as PALM and STORM achieve super-resolution by sequentially imaging sparse subsets ...
