Super-resolution imaging of lysosomes with a nitroso-caged rhodamine

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Mar 15;54(23):2842-2845. doi: 10.1039/c7cc08886h.

Abstract

Caged-fluorophores are potentially suitable for photo-activated localization microscopy (PALM) for super-resolution imaging. N-Nitroso is a simple and robust photo-cage with biocompatible nitric oxide as the only byproduct upon photolysis. We herein reported a novel PALM probe (NOR535) for super-resolution imaging of lysosomes with high localization precision.
