ABSTRACTDiffraction-unlimited single-molecule switching (SMS) nanoscopy techniques like STORM /(F)PALM enable three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence imaging at 20-80 nm resolution and are invaluable to investigate sub-cellular organization. They suffer, however, from low throughput, limiting the output of a days worth of imaging to typically a few tens of mammalian cells. Here we develop an SMS imaging platform that combines high-speed 3D single-molecule data acquisition with an automated, fully integrated, high-volume data processing pipeline. We demonstrate 2-color 3D super-resolution imaging of over 10,000 mammalian cell nuclei in about 26 hours, connecting the traditionally low-throughput super-resolution community to the world of omics approaches.

AbstractChromosome structure is thought to be crucial for proper functioning of the nucleus. Here, we present a method for visualizing chromosomal DNA at super-resolution and then integrating Hi-C data to produce three-dimensional models of chromosome organization. We begin by applying Oligopaint probes and the single-molecule localization microscopy methods of OligoSTORM and OligoDNA-PAINT to image 8 megabases of human chromosome 19, discovering that chromosomal regions contributing to compartments can form distinct structures. Intriguingly, our data also suggest that homologous maternal and paternal regions may be differentially organized. Finally, we integrate imaging data with Hi-C and restraint-based modeling using a method called integrative modeling of genomic regions (IMGR) to increase the genomic resolution of our traces to 10 kb.One Sentence SummarySuper-resolution genome tracing, contact maps, and integrative modeling enable 10 kb resolution glimpses of chromosome folding.

The function of the neuronal synapse depends on the dynamics and interactions of individual molecules at the nanoscale. With the development of single-molecule super-resolution microscopy over the last decades, researchers now have a powerful and versatile imaging tool for mapping the molecular mechanisms behind the biological function. However, imaging of thicker samples, such as mammalian cells and tissue, in all three dimensions is still challenging due to increased fluorescence background and imaging volumes. The combination of single-molecule imaging with light sheet illumination is an emerging approach that allows for imaging of biological samples with reduced fluorescence background, photobleaching, and photodamage. In this review, we first present a brief overview of light sheet illumination and previous super-resolution techniques used for imaging of neurons and synapses. We then provide an in-depth technical review of the fundamental concepts and the current state of the art in the fields of three-dimensional single-molecule tracking and super-resolution imaging with light sheet illumination. We review how light sheet illumination can improve single-molecule tracking and super-resolution imaging in individual neurons and synapses, and we discuss emerging perspectives and new innovations that have the potential to enable and improve single-molecule imaging in brain tissue.

Three-dimensional (3D) multicolor super-resolution imaging in the 50-100 nm range in fixed and living cells remains challenging. We extend the resolution of structured illumination microscopy (SIM) by an improved nonlinear iterative reconstruction algorithm that enables 3D multicolor imaging with improved spatiotemporal resolution at low illumination intensities. We demonstrate the performance of dual iterative SIM (diSIM) imaging cellular structures in fixed cells including synaptonemal complexes, clathrin coated pits and the actin cytoskeleton with lateral resolutions of 60-100 nm with standard fluorophores. Furthermore, we visualize dendritic spines in 70 micrometer thick brain slices with an axial resolution < 200 nm. Finally, we image dynamics of the endoplasmatic reticulum and microtubules in living cells with up to 255 frames/s.

Visualizing actin filaments in fixed cells is of great interest for a variety of topics in cell biology such as cell division, cell movement, and cell signaling. We investigated the possibility of replacing phalloidin, the standard reagent for super-resolution imaging of F-actin in fixed cells, with the actin binding peptide ‘lifeact’. We compared the labels for use in single molecule based super-resolution microscopy, where AlexaFluor 647 labeled phalloidin was used in a dSTORM modality and Atto 655 labeled lifeact was used in a single molecule imaging, reversible binding modality. We found that imaging with lifeact had a comparable resolution in reconstructed images and provided several advantages over phalloidin including lower costs, the ability to image multiple regions of interest on a coverslip without degradation, simplified sequential super-resolution imaging, and more continuous labeling of thin filaments.
