Stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED): Nanoscopy for innovative research in the life sciences Ghent University
The well-known adagio ‘seeing is believing’ is as much of relevance to life science research today as it ever was. Since the invention of the first microscopes almost 400 years ago, there has been an ongoing strive to ever see more details within organisms, tissues and cells. Based on fundamental physics from the nineteenth century, it was long thought impossible to see beyond a resolution of ~200 nm with light microscopes. However, thanks to ...
