摘要: Recent advances in fluorescence super-resolution microscopy are providing important insights into details of cellular structures. To acquire three dimensional (3D) images DNA, we combined binding activated localization (BALM) using fluorescent double-stranded DNA intercalators and optical astigmatism. We quantitatively establish the advantage bis- over mono-intercalators before demonstrating the approach by visualizing single DNA molecules stretched between microspheres at various heights. Finally, approach is applied to more complex environment intact damaged metaphase chromosomes, unravelling their structural features.
