Abstract:

Single molecule localization techniques are restricted by long acquisition and computational times, or the need of special fluorophores or biologically toxic photochemical environments. We propose a statistical super-resolution technique of wide-field fluorescence microscopy called MUltiple SIgnal Classification ALgorithm (MUSICAL) which has several advantages. It provides resolution down to at least 50 nm, requires less frames and lower excitation power, and works even at high fluorophore concentrations. Further, it works with any fluorophore that exhibits blinking on the time scale of the recording. Multiple signal classification algorithm shows comparable or better performance in comparison with single molecule localization techniques and four contemporary statistical super-resolution methods for experiments of in-vitro actin filaments and other independently acquired experimental datasets. We also demonstrate super-resolution at time scales of 245 ms (using 49 frames acquired at 200 frames per second) in samples of live-cell microtubules and live-cell actin filaments imaged without imaging buffers.
