Chemically Induced Photoswitching of Fluorescent Probes—A General Concept for Super-Resolution Microscopy

Chemically Induced Photoswitching of Fluorescent Probes—A General Concept for Super-Resolution Microscopy

We review fluorescent probes that can be photoswitched or photoactivated and are suited for single-molecule localization based super-resolution microscopy. We exploit the underlying photochemical mechanisms that allow photoswitching of many synthetic organic fluorophores in the presence of reducing...
