DNA-PAINT is a powerful super-resolution imaging method but is limited in speed due to slow exchange kinetics of the imaging strand. Here the authors present a method involving the addition of ethylene carbonate to the imaging buffer and modifications to the docking strand to improve the quality and speed of DNA-PAINT.
