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.
