Title & Abstract:

“Single cell physiological characterization in living tissue.  Determination of cell fate”

Optical super-resolution has been around for more than 10 years. Yet, superresolution is mainly applied to produce stunning images at the 10-20 nanometer scale of the interior of cell. This kind of superresolution imaging had limited applications to reveal the dynamics, motion and interactions of molecules at the nanoscale, which is at the basis of life.
In this talk we show work done in our lab to filling this gap by developing enabling technologies that will open the potential of superresolution imaging to dynamic at the microsecond-millisecond- temporal scale
