In GSDIM and dSTORM microscopy, cells are typically labeled densely with synthetic fluorescent labels, either through conjugation to (secondary) antibodies for immunolabeling, or to specific marker molecules such as phalloidin, which labels actin filaments. It can be implemented with relatively simple instrumentation: a good fluorescence microscope with excellent stability (i.e., extremely low mechanical drift over time), a sensitive EM-CCD or CMOS digital camera and powerful lasers for excitation are the main ingredients. Localization microscopy is therefore rapidly gaining popularity for the study of the ultrastructure of cells. By finding the center of all these fluorescent blobs (which are termed 'events' or 'blinks') in many thousands of sequential images, the molecules can be localized much more precisely, resulting in up to 10-fold improved resolution. Localization-based super resolution microscopy methods (STORM, GSDIM, PALM and variants thereof) circumvent this diffraction barrier by ensuring that at any moment in time the majority of fluorophores are in a dark off-state while only a few clearly separable fluorophores are in the bright on-state. Consequently, closely spaced cellular details cannot be resolved individually because the fluorescence blobs (approximately 250 nm in X and Y, and approximately 650 nm in Z) overlap in the image. When viewed by conventional fluorescence light microscopy even the smallest details in a cell will be visualized as little blurry 'blobs' of light due to light diffraction.

We show that these improvements allow us to collect very large series of images from the same cell, enabling image stitching, extended 3D imaging as well as multi-color recording.Д¬itation: Nahidiazar L, Agronskaia AV, Broertjes J, van den Broek B, Jalink K (2016) Optimizing Imaging Conditions for Demanding Multi-Color Super Resolution Localization Microscopy. We also describe incremental improvements in preparation technique that significantly decrease lateral- and axial drift, as well as increase preparation longevity. In this study we describe a new imaging buffer, OењЋA, that supports 3-color imaging of the popular Alexa dyes. Unfortunately, different dyes blink optimally in different imaging buffers, and acquisition of good quality 2- and 3-color images has therefore remained challenging. Recent work has identified several combinations of bright dyes and imaging buffers that work well together. The image quality obtainable by SMLM critically depends on efficacy of blinking (brightness, fraction of molecules in the on-state) and on preparation longevity and labeling density. In SMLM, single fluorophore labels are made to repeatedly switch on and off (вЂњblinkвЂќ), and their exact locations are determined by mathematically finding the centers of individual blinks. Single Molecule Localization super-resolution Microscopy (SMLM) has become a powerful tool to study cellular architecture at the nanometer scale.
