A Video-Rate Nanoscopy Facility for Super-Resolution Imaging

Grant number: LE150100110 | Funding period: 2015 - 2016

Completed

Abstract

Super-Resolution Microscopy (SRM) is a major frontier technology and is revolutionising our understanding of the structure and dynamics of cellular organisation. A video-rate SRM imaging facility will be established and is expected to bridge the gap between the functional dynamics and structure of living systems at the level of the single molecule. In leading international centres, breakthroughs are being made in understanding molecular mechanisms in cancer, infectious diseases and neuropathologies. Beyond purely biomedical considerations, SRM is redefining our knowledge of cellular architecture and will impact on our understanding of the fundamental biology of all plants, animals and micro ..
