Spot the diference: 3D STED
A group at Yale University has successfully captured 3D super-resolution images from the brains of living mice.
As published in Optica, the breakthrough was based on the use of stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy, one of the family of techniques developed to allow imaging beyond the normal diffraction limit of optical microscopy.
The principles behind STED, for which Stefan Hell shared the 2014 Nobel prize for chemistry, involve the addition of a quenching laser pulse to conventional fluorescence excitation, one delivered in a ring-shaped profile. Resolution at the central hole of this pulse can be driven down below the diffraction limit under certain conditions.
