KIT Scientists Combine STED and RICS Microscopy
Methods/Publication in Nature Communications
The newly developed STED-RICS microscopy method records
rapid movements of molecules in live samples. By combining raster image
correlation spectroscopy (RICS) with STED fluorescence microscopy, researchers
of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) opened up new applications in
medical research, e.g. analyzing the dynamics of cell membranes at high protein
concentrations.
