Nanoscopy of organelles and tissues with iterative ultrastructure expansion microscopy (iU-ExM)
Expansion microscopy is an approach of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy that does not yet achieve the precision of nanoscopy techniques such as single-molecule light microscopy (SMLM). Here, we developed an iterative ultrastructure expansion microscopy approach (iU-ExM), which now matches the SMLM resolution as demonstrated using standard references such as the nuclear pores. Applicable to both cells and tissues, iU-ExM allows a broad research community to access high precision super-resolution microscopy.
