无像差显微镜光学组件的互动优化
光学显微镜旨在放大肉眼不可见的物体。为此需要采用高品质光学器件来获得优秀的分辨率。但是,所有光学组件都会对光路中的光线带来负面的影响,最终导致像差。本文将重点介绍此过程中涉及的光学元件及其物理参数。在此基础上,本文对减少像差的方法原理进行了一次历史概述。结果表明,将显微镜看作一个整体系统有助于协调其各个组件并获得最佳微观结果。

光激活、光转化和光控开关荧光蛋白
荧光蛋白(FP)如GFP、YFP或DsRed都是可视化观察活细胞中细胞组分的强大工具。尽管如此,目前仍然会有传统FP达到极限的情形发生。普通FP无法观察特定兴趣蛋白中专有、空间有限的蛋白质群体,因为它们在整个细胞中都有表达。此时,光激活、光转化和光控开关荧光蛋白就登上了舞台。荧光套件中的成员可以从非荧光状态激活,可以改变发射光谱,甚至可以逆转式地“开启和关闭”。借助这些“光学荧光笔”,研究人员可以…
