General description
Abberior STAR 470SX is the latest development of long-Stokes-Shift dyes for STED microscopy. The dye can be excited from 450 to 480nm. It can substitute dyes like Chromeo™ 494. For STED, a depletion wavelength ~750 nm is recommended. It is therefore well suited for 2-color STED imaging as implemented in the Leica TCS STED Ti:Sa microscope.
Abberior STAR 470SX is the dye of choice for long Stokes STED applications in the orange fluorescent regime. The dye is particularly designed and tested for 2-color STED microscopy in combination with our STAR 635 using a single STED wavelength. The dye is our recommendation for usage in the Leica TCS STED Ti:Sa 2-color system.

Quorum sensing (QS) signaling allows bacteria to control gene expression once a critical population density is achieved. The Gram-negative human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHL) as QS signals, which coordinate the production of virulence factors and biofilms. These

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

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

Utilizing single fluorescent molecules as probes, we prove the ability of a far-field microscope to attain spatial resolution down to 16 nm in the focal plane, corresponding to about 1/50 of the employed wavelength. The optical bandwidth expansion by nearly
