摘要
Superresolution microscopy is currently revolutionizing optical imaging. A key factor for getting images of highest quality is - besides a well-performing imaging system - the labeling of the sample. We compared the fluorescent dyes Abberior Star 488, Alexa 488, Chromeo 488 and Oregon Green 488 for use in continuous wave (cw-)STED microscopy in aqueous buffer and in a durable polymer matrix. To optimize comparability, we designed DNA origami standards labeled with the fluorescent dyes including a bead-like DNA origami with dyes focused on one spot and a DNA origami with two marks at a designed distance of similar to 100 nm. Our data show that all dyes are well suited for cw-STED microscopy but that the optimal dye depends on the embedding medium. The precise comparison enabled by DNA origami nanorulers indicates that these structures have matured from the proof-of-concept to easily applicable tools in fluorescence microscopy.
