Understanding the plasma membrane nano-scale organisation and dynamics in living cells requires microscopy techniques with high temporal and spatial resolution and long acquisition times, that also allow for the quantification of membrane biophysical properties such as lipid ordering. Among the most popular super-resolution techniques, stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy offers one of the highest temporal resolution, ultimately defined by the scanning speed. However, monitoring live processes using STED microscopy is significantly limited by photobleaching, which recently has been circumvented by exchangeable membrane dyes that only temporarily reside in the membrane. Here, we show that NR4A, a polarity-sensitive exchangeable plasma membrane probe based on Nile Red, permits the super-resolved quantification of membrane biophysical parameters in real time with high temporal and spatial resolution as well as long acquisition times. The potential of this polarity-sensitive exchangeable dyes is showcased by live-cell real-time 3D-STED recordings of bleb formation and lipid exchange during membrane fusion, as well as by STED-fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (STED-FCS) experiments for the simultaneous quantification of membrane dynamics and lipid packing, which correlate in model and live-cell membranes.

AbstractWe demonstrate bleaching-independent STED microscopy using fluorogenic labels that reversibly bind to their target structure. A constant exchange of labels guarantees the removal of photobleached fluorophores and their replacement by intact fluorophores, thereby circumventing bleaching-related limitations of STED super-resolution imaging in fixed and living cells. Foremost, we achieve a constant labeling density and demonstrate a fluorescence signal for long and theoretically unlimited acquisition times. Using this concept, we demonstrate whole-cell, 3D, multi-color and live cell STED microscopy with up to 100 min acquisition time.

AbstractStimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy is one of the most influential nanoscopy techniques; by increasing the STED beam intensity, it theoretically improves the spatial resolution to any desired value. However, the higher is the dose of stimulating photons, the stronger are the photo-bleaching and photo-toxicity effects, which potentially compromise live-cell and long-term imaging. For this reason the scientific community is looking for strategies to reduce the STED beam intensity needed to achieve a target resolution. Here, we show how the combination of STED microscopy with image scanning microscopy (ISM) meets this request. In particular, we introduce a new STED-ISM architecture – based on our recent single-photon-avalanche-diode (SPAD) detector array – which allows covering the near-diffraction limit resolution range with reduced STED beam intensity. We demonstrate this ability both with simulated data and in live-cell experiments. Because of (i) the minimal changes in the optical architecture of the typical point-scanning STED microscope; (ii) the parameter-free, robust and real-time pixel-reassignment method to obtain the STED-ISM image; (iii) the compatibility with all the recent progresses in STED microscopy, we envisage a natural and rapid upgrade of any STED microscope to the proposed STED-ISM architecture.

Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy is a typical laser-scanning super-resolution imaging technology, the emergence of which has opened a new research window for studying the dynamic processes of live biological samples on a nanometer scale. According to the characteristics of STED, a high depletion power is required to obtain a high resolution. However, a high laser power can induce severe phototoxicity and photobleaching, which limits the applications for live cell imaging, especially in two-color STED super-resolution imaging. Therefore, we developed a low-power two-color STED super-resolution microscope with a single supercontinuum white-light laser. Using this system, we achieved low-power two-color super-resolution imaging based on digital enhancement technology. Lateral resolutions of 109 and 78 nm were obtained for mitochondria and microtubules in live cells, respectively, with 0.8 mW depletion power. These results highlight the great potential of the novel digitally enhanced two-color STED microscopy for long-term dynamic imaging of live cells.
