During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The extension of PALM and STORM based methods to live-cell dynamics is limited due to their reliance on intense phototoxic illumination and long acquisition times. In this talk I will describe a new approach, Super-Resolution Radial Fluctuations (SRRF), capable of achieving super-resolution with illumination orders of magnitude lower than methods such as SMLM or STED. It also enables live-cell imaging with conventional fluorophores using modern widefield, confocal or TIRF microscopes, achieving resolutions better than 150nm at 1 frame per second. Meanwhile, in datasets suitable for SMLM analysis SRRF achieves resolutions matching standard analysis techniques (20nm). We demonstrate, using SRRF, live-cell super-resolution images of microtubule, mitochondrial dynamics, the dynamic nanoscale reorganisation of HIV-1 host receptors, as well as extensive cortical actin remodelling during the formation of the immunological T-cell synapse.
