Lecture Introduction
The emergence of super-resolution imaging technology marks a breakthrough in the optical diffraction limit in the imaging field, and has also greatly promoted the development of the biomedical field. Using super-resolution technology, biologists can conduct precise quantitative statistics and intuitive visual analysis of subcellular structures within cells. However, super-resolution technology often requires complex acquisition equipment and specific imaging controls, and has low temporal resolution and insufficient imaging throughput, which limits the wide application of super-resolution imaging in biomedicine. In view of the limitations of the imaging field of view currently faced, we propose a new generation of high-throughput three-dimensional dynamic super-resolution imaging, which effectively improves the spatiotemporal resolution of optical microscope instruments and achieves super-resolution imaging with the highest resolution (60 nanometers), the fastest speed (564 frames/second), and the longest imaging time (1 hour) in living cells. During the imaging process, super-resolution images with 120 nm resolution and 2.4 billion pixels covering a millimeter-level field of view, including more than 2,000 cells, were recorded, providing new scientific imaging tools and instruments for biomedical research.
