http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Yes it can if we refer to Lothar Schermelleh et al. Science 320, p1332 (2008) and Gustafsson et al. Biophysical J. 94, p4957 (2008) The only bottleneck is time and datacongestion. (2 min for a 512x512x80 volume and 2 min calculation with this) . So live imaging is nearly impossible I guess, but it should be nice if the authors could comment in this.

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Dear Claire, According to recent reports (Schermelleh et al., Science 2008 or Gustafsson et al., Biophysical Journal 2008) Widefield-SIM breaks the resolution by a factor of about 2 to 3, laterally AND axially. Thus, you can separate objects being apart 100nm in lateral direction and 300nm axially. From my understanding, the restoration of attenuated higher spatial frequencies due to Deconvolution of 'ordinary' Widefield images will give you at best a resolution proposed by Abbe/Rayleigh (in frequency domain k(z)= NA²/2ηλ and k(xy)=2NA/λ). As far as I know (and I know rather little), calculating information beyond that limit using Deconvolution is not possible, since your OTF is zero and hence the information is lost and not just attenuated. Due to the spatial frequency mixing with a certain illumination pattern in SIM (interference of 3 mutually coherent beams in the Gustafsson paper) you will get a way bigger total Optical-Transfer-Function (with higher k-values) since you can additively overlay these OTFs in the frequency domain. Therefore, you´ll obtain images with a higher resolution than with a Widefield/Deconvolution system.

I have been getting similar odd notification each time I submit of late. Wondering if a fix is needed.
Starts of with subject line: Rejected posting to [hidden email] Then this subject: "Your message is being returned to you unprocessed because it appears to have already been distributed to the CONFOCAL list. That is, a message with identical text (but possibly with different mail headers) has been posted to the list recently, either by you or by someone else. If you have reason to resend this message to the list (for instance because you have been notified of a hardware failure with loss of data), please alter the text of the message in some way and resend it to the list. Altering the "Subject:" line or adding blank lines at the top or bottom of the message is not sufficient. Instead, you should add a sentence or two at the top explaining why you are resending the message. This explanation will help the other subscribers understand why they are getting two copies of the same message." I haven't been double posting either. Ideas on how to remedy?

Dear Listers,
There is a third alternative. I just got back yesterday from a private meeting hosted by CytoViva. They have been developing a series of very interesting applications on live cell imaging, both as a single imaging modality and combined with fluorescence. Although they call their device a "darkfield condenser," the behavior I have seen far exceed darkfield microscopy in several ways: (a) while darkfield provides unlimited depth of field, CytoViva provides elegant, discrete optical sectioning (b) while darkfield is detection limited, tests with a Richardson resolution target indicate that CytoViva produces true resolution on the order of 90-92 nm. (c) while darkfield improves the S/N ratio, CytoViva dramatically improves S/N. This enhanced S/N, combined with its higher resolution makes it an great solution for live imaging of very tiny point-like objects such as nano gold particles. To date, I have not seen a satisfactory scientific explanation as to why their system works this way... it just really works. (For the gurus on the listserver: If you want to have a discussion, please email me or give me a call offline (972-924-5310). I've got some ideas about what's going on, but would benefit from your broader experience). Anyway, when you put all of these attributes together, you get high signal/high resolution (beyond the Abbe limit) imaging of live cells without staining. When you add fluorescence (with their "DFM module"), you can produce a wonderful, live cell image of the cellular context simultaneously with the chemical tagged fluorescence ... all real-time, without the need to overlay computer images. So, for those of you who need to know exactly where a tagged molecule/drug, etc. is going in a cell, and, especially for those of you who want to document the process over time, this system provides an excellent solution at a reasonable price tag. (I think that the combined CytoViva/Fluorescence module combo ... including all the necessary light sources, etc., is on the order of 25K. They now have both upright and inverted versions that fit most microscopes). At the meeting, they also discussed their new Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) system. While their condenser/illumination provides excellent high resolution/high S to N qualitative images, the HSI is able to collect a visible/near IR spectrum to show quantitative chemical shifts, either over the whole image (pixel by pixel) or in selected ROIs. This product is being finalized and will be formally announced later this year. In the interim, the folks at CytoViva are actively developing their application expertise, so if you think this would be of value in your lab, I encourage you to contact the head of Technical Sales: Byron Cheatham ([hidden email]). For those of you who are just curious, I encourage you to visit their website: www.CytoViva.com . They have some great videos, both of the instrumentation and applications. Caveat: while I launched the original CytoViva in 2004, I currently have no financial interest in this product. It's just neat technology. Hope this is helpful!

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Structured illumination can do all sorts of things - it just depends what your goal is. Simple structured illumination systems such as Apotome or Optigrid will give you optical sectioning. 'Clever' sysyems - mostly based on the work of Mats Gustafsson - can give you a two-fold resolution improvement which is not to be sneezed at. When you get into saturated pattern structured illumination the resolution (as in STED) is in principle unlimited (in practice, I guess, around 90 nm).

The problem appears to be that for some reason every message
gets submitted in duplicate. This naturally causes the server to reject the second copy on the grounds it has already been posted (which it has). What needs to be sorted is why messages are getting posted twice when they are only sent once.

I have been getting similar odd notification each time I submit of late. Wondering if a fix is needed. Starts of with subject line: Rejected posting to [hidden email] Then this subject: "Your message is being returned to you unprocessed because it appears to have already been distributed to the CONFOCAL list. That is, a message with identical text (but possibly with different mail headers) has been posted to the list recently, either by you or by someone else. If you have reason to resend this message to the list (for instance because you have been notified of a hardware failure with loss of data), please alter the text of the message in some way and resend it to the list. Altering the "Subject:" line or adding blank lines at the top or bottom of the message is not sufficient. Instead, you should add a sentence or two at the top explaining why you are resending the message. This explanation will help the other subscribers understand why they are getting two copies of the same message." I haven't been double posting either. Ideas on how to remedy?

Juni 2008 18:30 An: [hidden email] Betreff: AW: Structured Illumination vs Deconvolution Search the CONFOCAL archive at http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Dear Claire, According to recent reports (Schermelleh et al., Science 2008 or Gustafsson et al., Biophysical Journal 2008) Widefield-SIM breaks the resolution by a factor of about 2 to 3, laterally AND axially. Thus, you can separate objects being apart 100nm in lateral direction and 300nm axially. >From my understanding, the restoration of attenuated higher spatial frequencies due to Deconvolution of 'ordinary' Widefield images will give you at best a resolution proposed by Abbe/Rayleigh (in frequency domain k(z)= NA²/2ηλ and k(xy)=2NA/λ). As far as I know (and I know rather little), calculating information beyond that limit using Deconvolution is not possible, since your OTF is zero and hence the information is lost and not just attenuated. Due to the spatial frequency mixing with a certain illumination pattern in SIM (interference of 3 mutually coherent beams in the Gustafsson paper) you will get a way bigger total Optical-Transfer-Function (with higher k-values) since you can additively overlay these OTFs in the frequency domain. Therefore, you´ll obtain images with a higher resolution than with a Widefield/Deconvolution system. Hope this helps, Cheers, Steffen Steffen Steinert, Dipl.-Ing. -------------------------------------- Universität Stuttgart 3.

Simple structured illumination systems such as Apotome or Optigrid will give you optical sectioning. 'Clever' sysyems - mostly based on the work of Mats Gustafsson - can give you a two-fold resolution improvement which is not to be sneezed at. When you get into saturated pattern structured illumination the resolution (as in STED) is in principle unlimited (in practice, I guess, around 90 nm).

Dear All Programmable array microscopy looks quite
interesting too,. I believe Cairn are developing a system, primarily as an
alternative to CLSM or Nipkow disc systems. No commercial interest. Darran From: Confocal
