Super Resolution Localization Microscopy: Bo Huang

Description: A large family of techniques to achieve super-resolution imaging utilize single molecule switching and localization microscopy. In these techniques, such as STORM, PALM, FPALM, and GSDIM, super-resolution is achieved by first switching all the molecules in the sample to a non-fluorescent state. Individual molecules are then returned to the fluorescent state, imaged, and their position determined to much higher than the diffraction limit. This lecture describes these techniques, dye requirements (photoswitchable fluorescent proteins and small molecule dyes) and how to extend these techniques to 3 dimensional imaging.

About the Speaker: Bo Huang
Dr. Huang’s research focuses on using super-resolution microscopy and single-molecule imaging to understand how proteins form large complexes and how proteins interact to regulate signaling. Huang is an Assistant Professor in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and in Biochemistry and Biophysics at UC San Francisco.
