Optical Nanoscopy Tools for Biologists:Advancements of Fluorophores and Optics for High Resolution and Live Imaging
Optical nanoscopy has emerged as an important tool for live cell imaging at nanoscale resolution in the field of life sciences. The 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this invention proves its importance in multidisciplinary areas of science. Several optical nanoscopic methods have been introduced in the past decade to achieve diffraction-unlimited resolution by implementing new optical set-ups or utilization of unique photoswitchable fluorophores, or both. In this review we extensively discuss the biological importance of nanoscopy, and the latest advancements and types of fluorophores needed for imaging. This review will be a starter-kit for biologists working in the field of bioimaging.
