How do you scale super-resolution microscopy to dozens of proteins without linearly scaling imaging time? We introduce Combi-PAINT: a combinatorial DNA-PAINT strategy that breaks the 1-target-per-round bottleneck of Exchange-PAINT: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… 1/5

Bonus: We’re not the only ones to come up with an idea like this – @BalzarottiFran has developed a closely related technique, so we’re extra confident about applicability and reproducibility! 4/5

Here’s their paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… And our work: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… Many thanks to @JungmannLab, all the co-authors and everyone who partook in this project! 5/5

Out today from the @JungmannLab! A comprehensive comparison of how 18 different dyes perform in DNA-PAINT along with optimized guidance for dye selection and multiplexed imaging. nature.com/articles/s41592-0…

What makes for a great DNA-PAINT experiment? How does the fluorescent dye affect the image quality? And how can we use this to extract the most out of our samples? Check out our paper in @NatureMethods to see what state-of-the-art DNA-PAINT can do for you! doi.org/10.1038/s41592-024-0…

ÅNGSTRÖM-RESOLUTION FLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPY. Can we do structural biology with an optical microscope? Yes! Check out how we resolved *single bases of DNA* and much more using fluorescence microscopy, out today in @Nature! nature.com/articles/s41586-0… @JungmannLab @MPI_Biochem

Ångström-resolution fluorescence microscopy! We’re extremely happy to introduce resolution enhancement by sequential imaging (RESI). Have a look! @SusanneReinhar3 @l_masu @IBaudrexel @JungmannLab nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

#FOM2023 coming to an end, excellent and inspiring talks and posters, amazing methods and applications! Hope you liked our contributions on #RESI and #DNAPAINT from the Jungmann Lab! @SusanneReinhar3 @PhilippSteen – at Oporto, Portugal

Big fields of view (FOV) for #DNAPAINT! In single-molecule localization microscopy, Gaussian illumination limits the usable FOV. By adding a piShaper to the excitation path, @l_masu and I create a beam with a flat-top profile, achieving even illumination across the camera 🧬🔬

This corresponds to ~150 μm x 150 μm in the sample. A resolution of ~5 nm is achieved throughout the FOV. The design is adapted from Stehr & Stein et al. (nature.com/articles/s41467-0…).
