DNA Origami as a Nanoscopic Ruler for Super‐Resolution Microscopy

Abstract

Resolving the distances: Rectangular DNA origami labeled with fluorophores at specific positions has been used as a nanoscopic ruler. Super-resolution microscopy based on the subsequent localization of single molecules enables two fluorophores at a distance of about 90 nm to be optically resolved. This combination of subdiffraction imaging and DNA nanotechnology opens up new avenues for studying nanostructures and their dynamics.
