OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Democratising live-cell high-speed super-resolution microscopy
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.
