90th iCeMS Seminar/CeMI Seminar Series 28: Dr. Helge Ewers

CeMI: Center for Meso-Bio Single-Molecule Imaging

Novel superresolution microscopy techniques such as PALM and STORM rely on the sequential localization of many fluorophores within the target structure. To what extent and at what resolution individual structures can be resolved depends on the number of localizations that can be achieved within a structure and the number of photons that can be collected from each fluorophore.

So far the technique is limited by a sparse number of photoactivatable proteins and the delivery of organic dyes to the target. Dr. Ewers will present a novel versatile labeling method and investigation results on the interaction between the actin and microtubule cytoskeleton in neuronal cells.
