Paper Abstract
Nonlinear structured illumination microscopy (SIM) allows full-field imaging at resolutions <100 nm. Two
nonlinear effects, excitation saturation (SSIM) and the photo-switching of protein had been applied to nonlinear
SIM. We report a new SIM technique which utilizes the nonlinearity of STED effect. Resolution and signal noise
ratio simulation shows that STED-SIM may serve as a better alternative to SSIM and SIM with photo-switchable
protein.
SIM requires a strong nonlinear effect in a large area. We use Surface Plasmon Resonant to enhance of evanescence
field near a dielectric-metal-dielectric interface. An 8 times STED effect enhancement is achieved on an optimized
glass-silver-glass-water planar structure. We further use the interference of two SPR-enhanced STED fields
propagating at opposite direction to generate a 1D structured STED field. Combined with a uniform excitation field,
the structure STED field allows full field total internal reflection imaging with an enhanced resolution along the
structured dimension. Less than 50 nm resolution is demonstrated.
A STED-SIM microscope with 2D structured STED field is under development. Future research will apply the
microscope to superresolution imaging of membrane resident or near membrane structure at super-resolution in live
cells.
