General description

Abberior STAR 488 was developed for STED and confocal microscopy in the green spectral region. It is a bright green fluorescent dye. The dye works extremely well with Abberior Instruments Expert Line microscopes and Leica STED microscopes. It can be very effectively excited with the prominent 488 nm laser line. For STED microscopy, Abberior STAR 488 can be efficiently used with STED Laser wavelengths between 590 - 610 nm. Abberior STAR 488 can substitute dyes like Oregon Green 488, Atto 488 or Alexa Fluor 488. Abberior STAR 488 is the ideal partner for Abberior STAR 440SXP to obtain optimal 2 Color STED results. Best results are obtained with freshly prepared samples.

Lens-based optical microscopy failed to discern fluorescent features closer than 200 nm for decades, but the recent breaking of the diffraction resolution barrier by sequentially switching the fluorescence capability of adjacent features on and off is making nanoscale imaging routine. Reported

We overcame the resolution limit of scanning far-field fluorescence microscopy by disabling the fluorescence from the outer part of the focal spot. Whereas a near-UV pulse generates a diffraction-limited distribution of excited molecules, a spatially offset pulse quenches the excited

For more than a century, the resolution of focusing light microscopy has been limited by diffraction to 180 nm in the focal plane and to 500 nm along the optic axis. Recently, microscopes have been reported that provide three- to
