Super-resolution 3D microscopy of live whole cells using structured illumination

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) structured-illumination microscopy (SIM) can double the lateral and axial resolution of a wide-field fluorescence microscope but has been too slow for live imaging. Here we apply 3D SIM to living samples and record whole cells at up to 5 s per volume for >50 time points with 120-nm lateral and 360-nm axial resolution. We demonstrate the technique by imaging microtubules in S2 cells and mitochondria in HeLa cells.

“…Only the cristae with relatively large spacing appeared to be resolved in the live-cell STORM images (Fig. 4), as in previous live-cell images by structured illumination microscopy (46). The more tightly packed cristae with smaller spacing, observed in EM and fixed-cell STORM images (Fig.…”

“…S-polarization in the excitation beams, required for achieving a high contrast ratio in the illumination pattern regardless of pattern orientations, was achieved by a linear polarizer corotating with the grating. More recently, faster setups have been published that use fast spatial light modulators (SLMs) for the pattern generation (9,11,18,19) and liquid crystal waveplates for fast polarization rotation (11,20). Live-cell imaging has been demonstrated in two dimensions using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) (11) and, more recently, in three dimensions (9, 20), but both in only one color.…”

Live-cell imaging has been demonstrated in two dimensions using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) (11) and, more recently, in three dimensions (9,20), but both in only one color. The limitation to one excitation wavelength stems mainly from the fact that the generation of the illumination beams used for structured illumination is based on diffraction, which is wavelengthdependent.…”

“…After replacing the optomechanics for a spatial light modulator, 3D SIM has been demonstrated on living cells with low light intensities of (≈5 W cm −2 ), requiring only about 5 to 25 s per complete cell [105]. Spatial resolution was twice that of conventional microscopy, and temporal resolution was only limited by the CCD read-out time.…”
