We introduce p-MINFLUX, a new implementation of the highly photon-efficient single-molecule localization method with a simplified experimental setup and additional fluorescence lifetime information. In contrast to the original MINFLUX implementation, p-MINFLUX uses interleaved laser pulses to deliver the doughnut-shaped excitation foci at a maximum repetition rate. Using both static and dynamic DNA origami model systems, we demonstrate the performance of p-MINFLUX for single-molecule localization nanoscopy and tracking, respectively. p-MINFLUX delivers 1-2 nm localization precision with 2000-1000 photon counts. In addition, p-MINFLUX gives access to the fluorescence lifetime enabling multiplexing and super-resolved lifetime imaging. p-MINFLUX should help to unlock the full potential of innovative single-molecule localization schemes.
我们介绍了 p-MINFLUX,这是一种新实现的高度光子效率的单分子定位方法,具有简化的实验设置和额外的荧光寿命信息。与原始的 MINFLUX 实现相比,p-MINFLUX 使用交错的激光脉冲以最大重复率传递环形激发焦点。使用静态和动态 DNA 折纸模型系统,我们分别展示了 p-MINFLUX 用于单分子定位纳米显微镜和跟踪的性能。p-MINFLUX 提供 1-2nm 的定位精度,需要 2000-1000 个光子计数。此外,p-MINFLUX 还可以获得荧光寿命信息,从而实现多路复用和超分辨寿命成像。p-MINFLUX 应该有助于释放创新的单分子定位方案的全部潜力。
