Definitions

  • the invention relates to the Lumineszenzmikroskopie and in particular to the resolution-enhanced Lumineszenzmikroskopie.
  • Luminescence is understood here, as is common practice, as a generic term for phosphorescence and fluorescence, so it covers both processes. Since fluorescence is predominantly used in microscopy, the term fluorescence is often used in this description, but, insofar as is technically meaningful, it is meant only as an example of processes which generally exploit luminescence.
  • luminescent dyes are used for the specific labeling of samples, e.g. of cell parts used. It is also possible to measure samples that luminesce per se, ie without the addition of marker.
  • the sample is excited by radiation to luminescence (by so-called. Excitation radiation) and the excited luminescence detected with suitable detectors.
  • a dichroic beam splitter in combination with block filters is provided for this purpose in the light microscope, which split off the luminescence radiation from the excitation radiation and enable separate observation.
  • the representation of individual, differently colored cell parts in the light microscope is possible.
  • several parts of a preparation can be colored simultaneously with different, specifically attaching to different structures of the preparation dyes. This process is called multiple luminescence.
  • the wavelength of the radiation used is a determining factor since, according to Ernst Abbe, the wavelength used (together with the numerical aperture of the imaging optics) dictates the diffraction limit and thus the resolution.
  • the wavelength used (together with the numerical aperture of the imaging optics) dictates the diffraction limit and thus the resolution.
  • resolutions beyond the diffraction limit several approaches have recently been developed. These microscopy methods are characterized in that they provide the user with a higher lateral and / or axial optical resolution compared to the conventional microscope. In this specification, a microscope is said to be high-resolution when it reaches a resolution beyond the diffraction optical limit. Diffraction-limited microscopes, on the other hand, are called classical microscopes. They realize known optical far field microscopy or laser scanning microscopy.
  • This method is used, for example, in DE 102006009833 A1, which uses the so-called reversible saturable optical fluorescence transition (RESOLFT).
  • RESOLFT reversible saturable optical fluorescence transition
  • fluorescent state A The condition in which the marking substance is excitable for fluorescence is referred to as "fluorescent state A.”
  • fluorescence occurs only when the sample is illuminated with excitation radiation, ie per se, the sample does not fluoresce, In this description, however, a clearer distinction can be made between a condition that can be excited to fluorescence.

  • DE 102006009833 A1 describes the excitation of the prepared sample for the emission of fluorescence radiation as "readout of the fluorescence.”

  • the excitation radiation of the specimen is excited by an evanescent field by irradiating the excitation radiation below the total reflection angle to the boundary of the cover glass and the specimen.

  • the invention has for its object to provide a microscope or a method for luminescence microscopy, which allows beyond the optical diffraction limit increased resolution.
  • a luminescence microscopy method which comprises: using a sample having a certain substance, or the sample is provided with this specific substance, the specific substance being repeated from a first state in which it is used Emission of luminescent radiation can be excited by light of a certain wavelength, is converted into a second state in which it is not excitable for emitting luminescence by light of a certain wavelength, the particular substance present in the sample by irradiation of switching radiation in the first state brought, the particular substance present in the sample is excited by irradiation of excitation radiation for emitting luminescence and the luminescence emitting sample is imaged, wherein a high-resolution selection of perpendicular to a sample surface extending sample areas, in that either the switching radiation or the excitation radiation is irradiated as structured illumination of the sample, and wherein a high-resolution selection of the sample surface takes place by irradiating the switching radiation and / or the excitation radiation as TI RF illumination of the sample.
  • the object is further achieved with a microscope for luminescence microscopy of a sample which has a certain substance or is provided with this particular substance, wherein the specific substance is repeatedly in a second state from a first state in which it can be excited to emit luminescence radiation in which it is not excitable for emitting luminescent radiation
  • the microscope comprising: a radiation source and a beam path for irradiating switching radiation to the sample to bring the particular substance present in the sample in the first state, an excitation radiation source and an excitation beam path for irradiating excitation radiation to the sample to excite the emission of luminescent radiation in the sample and to bring the specific substance present in the sample into the second state, and a detector and a detection beam path for imaging the luminescence radiation emitting sample, wherein for high-resolution selection of perpendicular to a sample surface extending sample areas of the switching beam path for irradiating the switching radiation and / or the excitation beam for irradiating the excitation radiation cause a structured illumination of the sample,

  • the invention thus provides for a selection of sample areas which extend along the optical axis through a structured illumination, which is used either in the switching process 1 or in the switching process 2.
  • a separate elaborate Sample preparation is no longer necessary.
  • the microscopy method can thus be carried out faster, which is particularly advantageous in the observation of biological processes.
  • the corresponding microscope is also simplified, since a separate illumination field for sample preparation no longer has to be generated.
  • the selection perpendicular to the sample surface usually takes place by means of a diffraction pattern formed in the sample.
  • the width of the regions perpendicular to the sample surface which are thereby selected is then diffraction-limited. Due to the mentioned nonlinearities, a sharpening beyond the diffraction limit results.

  • the orthogonal selections by the structured illumination and the evanescent field which is referred to in this description as TIRF illumination, selects a total sample volume which may be smaller along the optical axis of the image of the sample as well as across it than the diffraction limit allows.

  • switching radiation Another switching process 3 is required if the sample does not return to the fluorescent state by itself after emission of the fluorescence radiation. However, the switching processes 1 and 3 may coincide, as will be explained. The radiation required for these switching processes is therefore referred to herein as "switching radiation".
