Importantly, the blue-shifted derivatives emit in the spectral range of the red fluorescent proteins (e. g. The dynamics of this reaction are altered by the presence of reducing agents. In the case of Alexa Fluor 647, the most commonly used fluorescent label in super-resolution microscopy, this derivative is created over time in an intramolecular, irreversible photoinduced chemical reaction. Herein we show that upon intense irradiation with a 561 nm laser line, far-red organic dyes photoconvert to blue-shifted emissive species. However, irradiation with high laser intensity can induce photo-conversion of some of the most frequently used fluorophores. A far-red emitting dye is often one of the labels of choice. In a multicolor approach, adequate spectral separation of the different photoswitchable probes is required. Top panels, wide-field epifluorescence images reconstructed from the total fluorescence emission. We used continuous epifluorescence illumination to photoconvert mEOS3.2 with 405- and 564-nm lasers to excite the photoconverted mEOS3.2 through the entire cell. For each of the six species, both wild-type (WT) and pMT85-PSynMyco-mEos3.2-transformed cells (mEos) were imaged by PALM, and the data collected from a single representative field of view (512 by. mEos3.2 and PA-JF 646 were photoconverted by 100 long excitation pulses of 407. Localization-based super-resolution microscopy has become an indispensable tool in biology to study features smaller than the diffraction limit of light. capping protein Acp2p-mEOS3.2 with focusing in the middle plane of the cell. The median number of detected photons per mEos3.2 molecule per frame was.
