主 题:carbon dots excellent photobleaching resistance high resolution stimulated emission depletion(STED)nanoscopy tunneling nanotubes
摘 要:Many kinds of nano particles and organic dyes as fluorescent probes have been used in the stimulated emission depletion(STED)*** to high toxicity,photobleaching and non-water solubility,these fluorescent probes are hard to apply in living cell ***,we reporta new fluorescence carbon dots(FNCDs)with high photoluminescence quantum yield(56%),low toxicity,anti-photobleaching and goodwater-solubility that suitable for live-cell imaging can be obtained by doping fluorine ***,the FNCDs can stain the nucleolusand tunneling nanotubes(TNTs)in the living *** importantly,for STED nanoscopy imaging,the FNCDs effectively depleted backgroundsignals and improved imaging ***,the lateral resolution of single FNCDs size under the STED nanoscopy is up to 22.1 nm for FNCDs deposited on a glass slide was *** because of their good water dispersibility,the higher resolution of single FNCDs sizein the nucleolus of a living cell can be up to 19.7 *** the image optimizati on steps,the fine fluoresce nee images of TNTs diameter with ca.75 nm resolution is obtained living cell,yielding a threefold enhancement compared with that in confocal ***,the FNCDs show excellent photobleaching resistance after 1,000 scan cycles in the STED *** results show that FNCDs have significant potentialfor application in STED nanoscopy.
