Abstract
En 中文
State-of-the-art microscopy techniques enable the imaging of sub-diffraction barrier biological structures at the price of high costs or a lack of transparency. We try to reduce some of these barriers by presenting a super-resolution upgrade to our recently presented open-source optical toolbox UC2. Our new injection moulded parts allow larger builds with higher precision. The 4x lower manufacturing tolerance compared to three-dimensional printing makes assemblies more reproducible. By adding consumer-grade available open-source hardware such as digital mirror devices and laser projectors, we demonstrate a compact three-dimensional multimodal setup that combines image scanning microscopy and structured illumination microscopy. We demonstrate a gain in resolution and optical sectioning using the two different modes compared to the widefield limit by imaging Alexa Fluor (R) 647- and Silicon Rhodamine-stained HeLa cells. We compare different objective lenses and by sharing the designs and manuals of our setup, we make super-resolution imaging available to everyone. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue 'Super-resolution structured illumination microscopy (part 2)'.
