General description

Abberior STAR 470SX is the latest development of long-Stokes-Shift dyes for STED microscopy. The dye can be excited from 450 to 480nm. It can substitute dyes like Chromeo 494. For STED, a depletion wavelength ~750 nm is recommended. It is therefore well suited for 2-color STED imaging as implemented in the Leica TCS STED Ti:Sa microscope.

Abberior STAR 470SX is the dye of choice for long Stokes STED applications in the orange fluorescent regime. The dye is particularly designed and tested for 2-color STED microscopy in combination with our STAR 635 using a single STED wavelength. The dye is our recommendation for usage in the Leica TCS STED Ti:Sa 2-color system.

Key Features
  • Designed for STED microscopy at ~750 nm
  • Long Stokes′ shift (>130 nm) for 2-color applications
  • Tested in the Leica TCS STED Ti:Sa 2-color system

Quorum sensing (QS) signaling allows bacteria to control gene expression once a critical population density is achieved. The Gram-negative human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHL) as QS signals, which coordinate the production of virulence factors and biofilms. These

We report immunofluorescence imaging with a spatial resolution well beyond the diffraction limit. An axial resolution of approximately 50 nm, corresponding to 1/16 of the irradiation wavelength of 793 nm, is achieved by stimulated emission depletion through opposing lenses. We

We overcame the resolution limit of scanning far-field fluorescence microscopy by disabling the fluorescence from the outer part of the focal spot. Whereas a near-UV pulse generates a diffraction-limited distribution of excited molecules, a spatially offset pulse quenches the excited
