Cholesterol-Induced Nanoscale Variations in the Thickness of Phospholipid Membranes

Authors Chen T, Ghosh A, Enderlein J Journal Nano Letters Citation Nano Lett. 2023 Jan 27. Abstract Graphene-induced energy transfer (GIET) is a recently developed fluorescence-spectroscopic technique that achieves subnanometric optical localization of fluorophores along the optical axis of a microscope. GIET is based on the near-field energy transfer from

Towards Unbiased Fluorophore Counting in Superresolution Fluorescence Microscopy

Authors Laitenberger O, Aspelmeier T, Staudt T, Geisler C, Munk A, Egner A Journal Nanomaterials Citation Nanomaterials 2023, 13(3), 459. Abstract With the advent of fluorescence superresolution microscopy, nano-sized structures can be imaged with a previously unprecedented accuracy. Therefore, it is rapidly gaining importance as an analytical tool in the

Artistic representation showing how an image is created using the newly developed method. Two colours – green and magenta – are emitted by fluorescing atoms in the sample (left) due to X-Ray excitation. The grey round object represents an optic casting a shadow on the detector. The algorithm then produces an actual image with two colours – the intensity of which represents the density of the fluorescing atoms within the sample. Photo: Markus Osterhoff

Colour images from the shadow of a sample

A research team at the University of Göttingen has developed a new method to produce X-ray images in colour. In the past, the only way to determine the chemical composition of a sample and the position of its components using X-ray fluorescence analysis was to focus the X-rays and scan
