N-STORM with DNA-PAINT for Reliable Multicolor & 3D Single Molecule Localization Imaging

November 2016

DNA-PAINT is a technique for single molecule localization microscopy. The sample is immunolabeled with specialized secondary antibodies conjugated to short DNA oligomers known as docking strands. Complimentary oligomers conjugated to fluorophore, known as imaging strands, are introduced in the imaging buffer and will transiently bind to docking strands – allowing single molecules to be localized. Herein multicolor and 3D DNA-PAINT is demonstrated on the Nikon N-STORM 4.0 system.

Quantitative Cluster Analysis Applications for N-STORM

October 2016

Nikon’s N-STORM super-resolution microscope is applied to mapping the distribution of nucleosomes on chromatin fibers, shining a light on the mechanisms of chromatin folding, gene expression, and pluripotency. Multicolor STORM is used to explore how nucleosome distribution differs between differentiated and pluripotent stem cells and correlates with the distribution of other important factors in replication, such as RNA Polymerase II.

Quantitative Analysis Tools and Correlative Imaging Applications for N-STORM

November 2015

Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) has had a significant impact on our understanding of nano-scale biological processes. In this application note, we see how Nikon’s N-STORM system, combined with quantitative analysis tools, enables single molecule level studies of cannabinoid signaling in the brain. Correlative 3D-STORM, confocal microscopy, and patch-clamp electrophysiology is also explored.
