解説TMV virus super resolution microscopy Christoph Cremer Christina Wege.jpg
English: Localisation microscopy: SPDMphymod images of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) particles with coated proteins labeled with the fluorophore Atto448.
B: after Gaussian blurring corresponding to the individual localization accuracy
D: same data, but distribution of the individual molecule position without Gaussain blurring
Virus Super Resolution Microscopy/Optical nanoscopy:
A further example for the use of localization microscopy/SPDM is an analysis of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) particles. TMV particles are not only important in plant research but are also an example for a class of most promising biomolecule complexes exhibiting a high potential for nanotechnology applications as virus-derived biotemplates for nanostructured hybrid materials and building-blocks in analytical, technical & therapeutic applications.
