In vivo microscopy of the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), the most important label in cell biology, with single-molecule sensitivity is hampered by an insufficient signal-to-noise ratio. A significant improvement is obtained with a novel two-color excitation technique. The picture clearly shows the increased brightness of GFP in in vitro single-molecule assays and in live-cell microscopy under two-color illumination (upper cell) as compared to normal illumination (lower cell).
体内显微镜观察绿色荧光蛋白(GFP),这是细胞生物学中最重要的标记物,具有单分子灵敏度,但由于信噪比不足而受到阻碍。一种新的双色激发技术可显著提高其灵敏度。与正常激发(下细胞)相比,该图清楚地显示了在体外单分子测定和双色激发下活细胞显微镜中 GFP 的亮度显著增加(上细胞)。
