Abstract

Read online

Super-resolution microscopy using wavelengths in the near infrared (NIR) optical window is particularly appealing for live cell and tissue imaging, yet largely unexplored. Here the authors present NIR-STED nanoscopy of living mammalian cells using the new bacteriophytochrome-based fluorescent protein SNIFP.
