IMAGING BEYOND BARRIERS!
easy3D STED + RESCue STED = impressive 3D STED resolution
This xz-slice through mouse inner-ear hair cells using easy3D STED and RESCue STED demonstrates the impressive performance that can be achived by applying both techniques simultaneously. Since standard 3D superresolution places more photoinduced stress on the marker, the key ingredients that made this image possible where 1st: producing a STED-zero point of exceptional quality using easy3D STED, and 2nd: further reducing the light dose in the sample with RESCue STED.

Confocal vs. DyMIN STED imaging:
Confocal and easy3D DyMIN STED imaging of dendrites in brain slices. GFP-tagged proteins were expressed and immunolabelled using primary antibodies against GFP and secondary antibodies coupled to Abberior STAR 635P. Sample was prepared by O. Kaplan and H. Kawabe @ MPI of Experimental Medicine, Göttingen, Germany. Scale Bar, 2 µm.
DyMIN STED complements our existing list of intelligent STED illumination schemes, namely RESCue STED and MINFIELD STED. All three intelligent illumination schemes for STED dramatically reduce the light irradiation on your sample (DyMIN STED up to two orders of magnitude) and are exclusively available @ Abberior Instruments.
