Abstract Here we present a novel fluorescence microscopy concept which enables direct integration of Super-Resolution Microscopy (SRM) approaches (SIM/Nanosizing, STED, SMLM, MINFLUX, SIMFLUX) into systems with working distances (WD) up to the multicentimeter range while still allowing nanometer scale resolution at selected sites. This becomes possible by “synthetic aperture” illumination mode multiple, constructively interfering excitation beams positioned in “Ring-Array” arrangement around beam free interior zone containing instrumentation involved complementary imaging modes. The feasibility such correlative method is validated extensive numerical simulations; on basis these calculations, experimental implementation options are discussed. Such “Ring Array” modes may be useful for various methods, as combination light and electron same device (dCLEM); or low NA/large field-of-view widefield super-resolution sites (direct Correlative Opical Microscopy/dCOLM). Ring-Array supported will open perspectives variety disciplines, from material sciences biomedical applications.

Abstract Genome replication requires duplication of the complete set DNA sequences together with nucleosomes and epigenetic signatures. Notwithstanding profound knowledge on mechanistic details replication, major problems genome have remained unresolved. In this perspective article, we consider accessibility machines to all in due course, maintenance functionally important positional structural features chromatid domains during rapid transition CTs into prophase chromosomes two chromatids. We illustrate problem EdU pulse-labeling (10 min) chase experiments (80 performed mouse myeloblast cells. Following light optical serial sectioning nuclei 3D structured illumination microscopy (SIM), seven intensity classes were distinguished as proxies for increasing compaction. cells fixed immediately after pulse-label, observed a relative under-representation EdU-labeled low density classes, representing active nuclear compartment (ANC), an over-representation high inactive (INC). Cells revealed even more pronounced shift classes. This finding contrasts previous studies transcriptional topography demonstrating signatures chromatin RNAPII their discuss these findings current models viewing CDs either frameworks or phase-separated droplets, well methodological limitations that currently prevent integration contrasting evidence spatial transcription common framework dynamic architecture.

For many biomedical applications, laser-assisted methods are essential to enhance the three-dimensional (3D) resolution of a light microscope. In this report, we review possibilities improve 3D imaging potential by axial tomography. This method allows us rotate object in microscope into best perspective required for imaging. Furthermore, images recorded under variable angles can be combined one image with isotropic resolution. After brief technical state art, show some and discuss future perspectives Deep View Microscopy Molecular Imaging.

Polymer physics view of peripheral chromatin: de Gennes' self-similar carpet DOI

Published: May 6, 2024

Using scaling arguments to model peripheral chromatin localized near the inner surface of nuclear envelope (NE) as a flexible polymer chain, we discuss structural properties composed alternating lamin-associated domains (LADs) and inter-LADs. Modeling attraction LADs NE by de Gennes' self-similar carpet, which treats layer fractal, explains two major experimental observations. (i) The high density close periphery decays constant distance increases. (ii) Due decreasing mesh size towards periphery, carpet inside excludes molecules (via nonspecific interactions) above threshold that depends on from periphery.
