▼ The actin cytoskeleton plays a vital role in various biological processes such as cell migration, morphogenesis, and intracellular trafficking. The polymerization of actin filaments at membranes provides the force for generating dynamic actin structures such as protrusions and invaginations that drive these processes. In filopodia, which are finger-like protrusions comprised of bundled actin filaments, actin regulatory proteins are believed to assemble a distal 'tip complex' which stimulates actin nucleation at the membrane. However how these regulators collectively behave in a macromolecular complex still remains poorly understood. To understand the macromolecular nature of these complexes, I investigated the dynamic properties and spatial organization of actin regulatory factors, using an in vitro reconstitution assay for filopodia-like structures (FLS) utilizing artificial lipid bilayers and Xenopus laevis egg extracts. FRAP analysis of seven actin regulatory factors (Toca-1, N-WASP, GTPase-binding domain, Ena, VASP, Diaph3, Fascin) revealed that the FLS tip complex has both dynamic and stable properties, with different proteins displaying distinct dynamics. Further analyses on the membrane-binding protein Toca-1 showed that its dynamic turnover is controlled by interactions with actin and exchange of molecules with solution. Single-molecule localization microscopy resolved the nanoscale organization of Toca-1, showing its arrangement into flat plaque-like and narrowly elevated tubular substructures. Plaque-like structures showed similarities to phase-transition patterns, while tubule-like structures closely resembled those previously found to decorate membrane tubules in vitro, which are thought to be involved in endocytic membrane remodeling. Endocytic accessory proteins such as SNX9 and Dynamin2 were also found to localize to FLS tips. This work provides new insights into the dynamics and organization of protein ensembles at actin nucleation sites, and proposes a novel link between endocytosis and filopodia formation, which is relevant to understanding how cells decide when and where to assemble actin at the membrane.

▼ Resolution in fluorescence
microscopy is one of the most critical parameters in cellular imaging.
Super-
resolution fluorescence microscopes have spatial resolutions below the diffraction limit (~250 nm) and are expected to revolutionise cell biology. Single molecule localization
microscopy (SMLM) provides a molecular image of biological specimens while lattice light-sheet
microscopy (LLSM) has the ability to provide 3D images and movies of live cells. The goal of this thesis is to explore how
resolution can be improved via optical engineering solutions.First, an actively stabilized SMLM (termed Feedback SMLM) has developed that achieved localization precisions of 1-4 nm without any post-acquisition processing. The performance of the ‘Feedback SMLM’ was demonstrated with DNA origami structures and by imaging F-actin and signaling proteins in T cells. With this
microscopy, it was possible to identify the width of 5-9 nm individual F-actin filaments and measure the separation distance of proteins below 20 nm. The Feedback SMLM instruments relies on non-fluorescent fiducial markers to correct the stage position during data acquisition. In Chapter 3, it was explored whether polystyrene beads could be replaced with photo-polymerized structures that are directly printed onto the glass coverslip. This has the advantage that the density and positioning of the fiducial markers can be controlled and the fiducial markers have a minimal impact on the biology under investigation. Here, we designed and printed different shapes of 3D fiducials via femtosecond laser photopolymerization, and demonstrated the potential of using these novel fiducials for stage stabilisation. Lattice light-sheet
microscopy (LLSM) is a promising
super-
resolution technique that – unlike SMLM – works equally well in live and fixed samples. For Chapter 4, the installation and alignment of an LLSM instrument was performed, with which a
resolution of 230 × 230 × 370 nm (xyz) was achieved. This LLSM setup was employed to obtain 3D images and movies of endocytosis, cancer spheroids and the structure of inflammasome.In conclusion, two different
super-
resolution microscopy techniques were explored. The localization precision of SMLM was improved by incorporating feedback loops into the set-up and the suitability of LLSM for dynamic imaging was tested on a range of applications.

▼ Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from organic molecules is used to study how geometry affects plasmonic enhancement in noble metal nanoparticles using
super-
resolution analysis techniques coupled with scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging. We demonstrate that
super-
resolution analysis can track emission from Raman-active molecules on nanoaggregate surfaces with
resolution typically better than 5 nm, a significant improvement over the diffraction limit. This optical analysis technique is used to identify active junction regions, known as hot spots, in correlated SEM structural images of aggregated particles based on shape, size, and angular position of SERS emission. This correlated analysis is further extended to study the mechanism of silver nanoparticle luminescence and its positional relationship to SERS emission. These studies support the hypothesis that silver luminescence is enhanced via a different mechanism than SERS. Discrete dipole approximation calculations agree with experimental results, indicating that SERS emission is a product of local plasmonic enhancement in specific junction regions between nanoparticles whereas silver luminescence is dependent upon nanoaggregate geometry and the collective plasmon modes within a structure. These theoretical calculations of luminescence centroid location can assist with SERS-active junction region assignment in higher order aggregates (e.g. trimers, tetramers, etc.) Finally, correlated optical and structural studies are used to develop understanding of site-specific electrochemical potentials on silver and gold nanoparticle aggregates using a redox active Raman reporter molecule. We demonstrate that there is a weak correlation between emission centroid location and bulk sample potential. Silver colloid studies demonstrate variability in modulation behavior and are highly unpredictable, whereas gold colloids with the redox molecule covalently tethered to their surface via a gold-thiol bond show more reproducible modulation. Furthermore, these tethered studies demonstrate geometrical agreement between site-specific emission at negative potentials and junction regions in nanoaggregate SEM images indicating that plasmonic enhancement may affect local nanoparticle surface potentials.

▼ This dissertation studies detection-based methods to increase the estimation precision of single point-source emitters in the field of localization microscopy. Localization microscopy is a novel method allowing for the localization of optical point-source emitters below the Abbe diffraction limit of optical microscopy. This is accomplished by optically controlling the active, or bright, state of individual molecules within a sample. The use of time-multiplexing of the active state allows for the temporal and spatial isolation of single point-source emitters. Isolating individual sources within a sample allows for statistical analysis on their emission point-spread function profile, and the spatial coordinates of the point-source may be discerned below the optical response of the microscope system. Localization microscopy enables the identification of individual point-source emitter locations approximately an order of magnitude below standard, diffraction-limited optical techniques. The precision of localization microscopy methods is limited by the statistical uncertainty in which the location of these sources may be estimated. By utilizing a detection- based interferometer, an interference pattern may be super-imposed over the emission signal. Theoretical analysis and Monte-Carlo simulations by means of Fisher information theory demonstrate that the incorporation of a modulation structure over the emission signal allow for a more precise estimation when compared to conventional localization methods for the same number of recorded photons. These theoretical calculation and simulations are demonstrated through the use of two proof-of-concept experiments utilizing a modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The first methodology improves the localization precision of a single nanoparticle over the theoretical limit for an Airy-disk point-spread function by using self-interference to spatially modulate the recorded point-spread function. Experimental analysis demonstrates an improvement factor of ~3 to 5 over conventional localization methods. A related method employs the phase induced onto the Fourier domain signal due to path length differences in the Mach-Zehnder interferometer to improve localization precision. The localization capability of a modified Fourier domain signal generated by self-interference is utilized to yield a two-fold improvement in the localization precision for a given number of photons compared to a standard Gaussian intensity distribution of the corresponding point-spread function.

▼ Human Natural Killer (NK) cells are regulated by a
variety of germ-line encoded activating and inhibitory receptors.
Broadly, activating receptors detect ligands that are expressed or
up-regulated on cancerous or infected cells, while inhibitory
receptors bind self-molecules to induce tolerance against healthy
cells. Highly homologous pairs of activating and inhibitory
receptors are also expressed on NK cells, including Killer Ig-like
Receptors KIR2DL1 and KIR2DS1, which bind the same ligands, class I
MHC proteins from the C2 group. Here, two
super-
resolution
microscopy techniques, stimulated emission depletion (STED) and
ground state depletion
microscopy followed by individual molecule
return (GSDIM) were used to examine the nanometre-scale
organization of KIR2DL1 and KIR2DS1, as well as molecules engaged
in their signalling.Both receptors were observed to constitutively
assemble in nanometre-scale clusters at the surface of NK cells but
displayed differential patterns of clustering - the activating
receptor KIR2DS1 formed nanoclusters 2.3-fold larger than its
inhibitory counterpart KIR2DL1. Site-directed mutagenesis
established that the size of nanoclusters was controlled by
transmembrane amino-acid 233, a lysine in KIR2DS1. Mutated variant
of KIR2DS1 in which lysine 233 was substituted with alanine formed
significantly smaller clusters than the wild-type KIR2DS1.
Reciprocally, substitution of isoleucine found at position 233 in
KIR2DL1 sequence with lysine resulted in the receptor assembling
into larger clusters.
Super-
resolution microscopy also revealed two
ways in which KIR nanoclusters impact signalling. First, KIR2DS1
and DAP12 nanoclusters were juxtaposed in the resting-cell state
but coalesced upon receptor ligation. Second, quantitative
super-
resolution microscopy revealed that membrane-proximal
clusters of the kinase ZAP-70 or phosphatase SHP-1, as well as
their phosphorylated active forms, were more often found in contact
with larger KIR nanoclusters.Together, this work has established
that size of KIR nanoclusters depends on the transmembrane sequence
and impacts downstream signalling.

▼ The diffraction limit restricts conventional light microscopes to approximately 250 nm laterally and 500 nm axially, these limits being first proposed by Abbe in 1873. Despite this, optical microscopes have found many applications in biological research and single cells that are 10 - 100 um in size. Furthermore by coupling the non-invasive nature of a light microscope with highly sensitive fluorescent probes, fluorescence microscopy has also become a standard imaging technique. Recent advances in fluorescence microscopy now provide a number of methods to circumvent the Abbe diffraction limit, with many techniques becoming prevalent over the last 10 years including direct Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (dSTORM). A dSTORM system has been constructed and calibrated using a commercially available inverted florescence microscope and total internal reflection florescence (TIRF) imaging. dSTORM relies on the ability to switch sparse subsets of fluorophores and temporally separate them. Provided the spatial separation is sufficient between any member of a subset, the average error with which the emission can be localized is much less than size of the emission profile itself. The underlying mechanism for this switching is detailed based on the principle of photoinduced electron transfer (PET). The switching characteristics of the common florescent dye Alexa Fluor 568 are investigated and shown to be controlled by a number of factors including the excitation intensity and concentration of the primary thiol cysteamine beta-MEA. A number of parameters are defined, including the dye switching rate, for a given set of physical parameters. U2OS cells are labelled for the microtubule protein Tubulin using immunofluorescent labelling strategies. A direct comparison is made between diffraction limited TIRF images and dSTORM reconstructed images, with an average width for microtubules determined to (58.2 ± 8.1) nm. Further measurements are made by labelling the Rab5 effector Early Endosome Antigen 1 (EEA1). From this the aspect ratio for early endosomes is determined to be 1.68 ± 0.7 with an average radius of (45.8 ± 18.8) nm. The point spatial distribution of EEA1 is investigated by using the linearised form of Ripley's K-function H(r) and the null hypothesis of complete spatial randomness tested. EEA1 is shown to cluster at radius of 58.7 nm on individual endosomes, thought to be due to the well defined binding domains present on early endosomes for EEA1. Further evidence suggests that clustering is also exhibited at another maximum of approximately 500 nm when looking at an ensemble of EEA1 and early endosomes.

▼ Multiphoton
microscopy is a powerful optical imaging modality renowned for its non-invasive nature and relatively affordable characteristics. In particular, it has found its niche in neuroimaging due to its ability to probe in vivo biological processes in scattering brain tissue approaching millimeter depths with cellular
resolution. However, the brain is a large and complex organ, and in order to fully understand its heterogeneous architecture and associated functional roles, several distal regions must be imaged simultaneously. Moreover, due to the critical implications of organelle features in various macroscale processes, whole-brain imaging at subcellular
resolution scales presents itself as one of the outstanding challenges faced by the neuroscientific community today. Primarily, this research aims to expand the depth, field-of-view, and temporal throughput of multiphoton
microscopy to enable large volume imaging of microvasculature at greater acquisition speeds. To accomplish this, we combine multi-faceted efforts focused on the engineering and development of advanced multiphoton
microscopy techniques and technologies. This includes the characterization of novel contrast agents, the optimization of scan system optics, and the integration of high-repetition rate lasers with a resonant galvanometer. In addition, we develop a two-color imaging system capable of enhancing excitation efficiency, improving signal-to- background ratio, and further extending imaging depth. Finally, we present a novel application for two-color non-degenerate mode mixing to effectively circumvent the diffraction-limited nature of optical
resolution and enable subcellular imaging. Collectively, these efforts advance the state-of-the art of multiphoton
microscopy for routine cerebrovascular and neuroimaging.

▼ Les techniques de super-résolution offrent un nouvel aperçu de la description de l'organisation moléculaire dynamique de la membrane plasmique. Parmi ces techniques, la microscopie par déplétion d'émission stimulée (stimulated emission depletion, STED) dépasse la limite de diffraction optique et atteint une résolution de quelques dizaines de nanomètres. Il est une technique polyvalente qui peut être combinée avec d'autres techniques telles que la spectroscopie par corrélation de fluorescence (fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, FCS), fournissant des résolutions spatiales et temporelles élevées pour explorer les processus dynamiques qui se produisent dans les cellules vivantes. Ce projet de doctorat vise à mettre en œuvre un microscope STED, puis à combiner ce module STED avec la technique FCS pour les applications biologiques. Des études théoriques du STED et de la technique combinant STED et FCS ont permis dans les aspects spatio-temporels. Une solution analytique pour la fonction d'autocorrélation FCS a été dérivée dans l'état de déplétion STED incomplet. et un nouveau modèle d'ajustement FCS a été proposé. La méthode de variation du volume d’observation FCS (spot variation FCS, svFCS) a démontré sa capacité à identifier la présence de nanodomaines limitant la diffusion latérale des molécules dans la membrane plasmique. L’approche STED-FCS permet d’étendre l’application de la svFCS à l'échelle nanométrique afin d’évaluer la persistance plus ou moins importante de tels nanodomaines. Dans ce contexte, des simulations préliminaires de Monte Carlo ont été réalisées figurant des molécules diffusant en présence d'auto-assemblage/désassemblage dynamique des nanodomaines.
Super-resolution techniques offer new insight into the description of the dynamic molecular organization at the plasma membrane. Among these techniques, the stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy breaks the optical diffraction limit and reaches the resolution of tens of nanometer. It is a versatile setup that can be combined with other techniques such as fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), providing both high spatial and temporal resolutions to explore dynamic processes occurring in live cells. This PhD project aims at implementing a STED microscope, and then at combining this STED module with FCS technique for biological applications. Detailed theoretical studies on STED and the combined STED-FCS technique in spatio-temporal aspects were performed. An analytical solution for FCS autocorrelation function was derived in the condition of incomplete STED depletion and a new FCS fitting model was proposed to overcome this problem. The spot variation FCS (svFCS) method has demonstrated its capability to identify the presence of nanodomains constraining the lateral diffusion of molecules at the plasma membrane. The STED-FCS can extend the svFCS approach to the nanoscale evaluating the long-lasting existence of such nanodomains. Within this frame, preliminary Monte Carlo simulations were conducted mimicking molecules diffusing in the…

▼ La première méthode vise à améliorer la vitesse d’imagerie de la microscopie super-résolue àtempérature ambiante pour des applications biologiques. En tant qu’une technique de scan, lamicroscopie STED a besoins d’être parallélisé pour faire de l’imagerie rapide en champ large. Nousavons obtenu une parallélisation massive de la microscopie STED en utilisant les réseaux d’optiqueavec une excitation en en champ large et une caméra rapide pour détection. Les images super-résoluesd’un champ de 3 μm par 3 μm sont acquises en scannant une maille élémentaire du réseau optique, quipeut être aussi petite que 290 nm * 290 nm. La microscopie Lattice-STED est démontrée avec unerésolution allant jusqu'à 70 nm à une cadence de 12,5 images par seconde.La deuxième méthode étend la microscopie super-résolue à la température de l’hélium liquide pourdes applications aux technologies quantiques. Des résolutions optiques à l'échelle nanométrique desémetteurs quantique est une étape cruciale vers le contrôle des états délocalisés formés par lesinteractions fortes et cohérentes entre des émetteurs. Dans ce contexte, nous avons développé unetechnique de microscopie à des températures cryogéniques, dénommée la microscopie Essat. Cettetechnique est basée sur la saturation optique de l'état excité des molécules fluorescentes uniques parl’excitation d’un faisceau en forme d’anneau. Une résolution moins de 10 nm est obtenue avec debasses intensités d'excitation, plus de millions de fois plus faibles que celles utilisées dans lamicroscopie STED à la température ambiante. Par rapport aux approches basées sur la superlocalisation,notre technique offre une occasion unique de résoudre sous la limite de diffraction lesmolécules uniques ayant des fréquences de résonance optiques qui se chevauchent. Ceci ouvre la voieà l'étude des interactions cohérentes entre émetteurs uniques et à la manipulation de leur degréd'intrication.
The first technique aims at improving the imaging speed of super-resolution microscopy at roomtemperature for biological applications. As a scanning technique, STED (Stimulated EmissionDepletion) microscopy needs parallelization for fast wide-field imaging. Using well-designed opticallattices for depletion together with wide-field excitation and a fast camera for detection, we achievelarge parallelization of STED microscopy. Wide field of view super-resolved images are acquired byscanning over a single unit cell of the optical lattice, which can be as small as 290 nm * 290 nm.Lattice-STED imaging is demonstrated with a resolution down to 70 nm at 12.5 frames per second.The second one extends super-resolution microscopy to liquid helium temperature for applications inquantum technologies. Optical resolution of solid-state single quantum emitters at the nanometer scaleis a challenging step towards the control of delocalized states formed by strongly and coherentlyinteracting emitters. ESSat (Excited State Saturation) microscopy operating at cryogenic temperaturesis based on optical saturation of the excited state of single…

▼ La microscopie de super-résolution PALM (microscopie de localisation après photo-activation) est un outil performant pour l'étude des cellules à l'échelle nanométrique. Dans ses applications avancées, la microscopie PALM permet l'étude quantitative et dynamique des objets et événements biologiques. Ces applications sont cependant limitées par le comportement photophysique complexe des protéines fluorescentes photoconvertibles vert à rouge (PCFPs) utilisées comme marqueurs. En particulier, les transitions répétées et stochastiques des PCFPs entre un état sombre et un état fluorescent (scintillement) ainsi que l'incomplétude de photoconversion compliquent l'extraction d'informations quantitatives.Nos travaux combinant cristallographie aux rayons X des protéines et microscopie de localisation ont permis de mettre en évidence le rôle central d'un acide aminé conservé au sein des PCFPs, l'arginine 66, dans le contrôle du scintillement et du photoblanchiment de la forme rouge de deux PCFPs populaires: mEos2 et Dendra2.D'autre part, des résultats préliminaires suggèrent que dans leur formes vertes et dans les conditions d'illumination classiques PALM, les PCFPs entrent dans un état sombre de long temps de vie ce qui ralentit la photoconversion.Nos résultats ouvrent la porte à la conception raisonnée de nouvelles PCFPs optimisées pour les applications quantitatives et dynamiques du PALM.
Super-resolution PALM microscopy (photoactivated localization microscopy) is a powerful tool to investigate the cells with nanoscopic accuracy. Advanced PALM microscopy allows to quantitatively and dynamically study biological objects and events. These applications are nevertheless limited by the complex photophysical behavior of the green-to-red photoconvertible fluorescent proteins (PCFPs) used as markers. In particular, PCFPs red forms repeated and stochastic transitions between a fluorescent and a dark state (blinking) as well as photoconversion uncompleteness complicate the extraction of quantitative information.Our study, by combining X-ray crystallography and localization microscopy, evidences that a single aminoacid well conserved among PCFPs, the arginine 66, controls the blinking and photobleaching behavior of two popular PCFPs: mEos2 and Dendra2.Preliminary results suggest that in their green forms and under PALM classical illumination conditions, PCFPs switch to a long-lived dark state resulting in a photoconversion slowing down.Our results open the door to future rational engineering of enhanced PCFPs for quantitative and dynamic PALM.

▼ Les nanoparticules Upconverting (UCNP) à base de lanthanides possèdent la propriété fascinante d’être capables de convertir des photons infrarouges en photons de plus haute énergie sans recourir à des fluences de laser élevées. Ce décalage Anti-Stokes conduit à rapport signal sur bruit meilleur que pour la luminescence classique. Associé à leur photostabilité (non clignotantes, non photolysables), un spectre d’émission indépendant de leur taille, une faible toxicité, ces matériaux inorganiques sont devenus un outil de choix en biologie, en particulier en imagerie biologique, à côté des Quantum Dots. Cependant, l’émission globale s’effondre rapidement quand la taille des UCNP est réduite. En conséquence la réalisation de particules ultra petites et efficaces reste un défi. Le présent mémoire s’intéresse au design de structures nanohybrides fondées sur des particules ultra petites de NaREF4, avec pour objectif la microscopie super-résolue. Le travail s’est organisé en trois phases. Tout d’abord nous avons étudié la réduction en taille des UCNP de 10-20 nm à moins de 5 nm, en se focalisant sur leur composition et l’amélioration du procédé de synthèse. En particulier nous avons montré l’importance de la conjonction du processus de mélange avec la conduite de l’étape à haute température. Pour cette dernière l’emploi du chauffage micro-onde, avec un cyclage en température original a permis de contrôler efficacement le mûrissement d’Ostwald. La librairie de particules ainsi construite a permis d’étudier la photophysique des processus de redistribution de l’énergie au sein des particules sur des montages « maison » ou des équipements dédiés grâce à des collaborations avec des équipes de Berlin ou Lille. Il en ressort que les quantificateurs usuels de luminescence sont inadéquats pour décrire le phénomène d’upconversion. Aussi avons-nous débuté l’élaboration d’un modèle cinétique approprié. Enfin, la construction de nanohybrides impliquant un polymère photochrome hydrophile a été explorée. La sélection du colorant approprié et les premières études photocinétiques ont été menées. Cette approche couplant nos « nanolampes » avec un « volet photochrome » a pour but de proposer une alternative innovante au développement de la super-résolution par STED.
Lanthanide-based Upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) show the fascinating property of converting low energy NIR photons into higher energy ones without requiring high laser fluences. This unique large anti-Stokes shift affords a higher signal-to-noise ratio than standard luminescent compounds. Associated to their photostability (non-blinking, non-bleaching), their size-independent emission spectrum and a limited toxicity, these inorganic materials have become an interesting tool in Biology besides Quantum Dots, especially for Bioimaging. However, the overall emission plummets sharply when the size is reduced. Therefore, efficient ultrasmall UCNPs are still challenging to obtain. The present work is dedicated to the design of innovative nanohybrid structures based on NaREF4 with…

▼ Pour analyser la structure et la dynamique des échantillons, la biologie cellulaire repose sur l'utilisation d'outils d'imagerie. En particulier, la microscopie de fluorescence offre une grande spécificité et une toxicité réduite. L'émergence récente des méthodes de super-résolution a permis d'outrepasser la limite de diffraction et ouvert de nouvelles perspectives d'études. Les stratégies de molécule unique sont particulièrement adaptées à l'imagerie nanométrique tridimensionnelle, et permettent de nombreux couplages avec des modalités complémentaires ; toutefois, leur manque de reproductibilité entrave leur généralisation.Nous proposons ici de nouvelles méthodes dans le but de remédier à ces problèmes en facilitant leur application en biologie cellulaire, en chimie et en science des matériaux. Tout d'abord, nous présentons des protocoles et échantillons dédiés aux acquisitions de calibration et de mesure de performances. Nous décrivons également plusieurs exemples d'utilisation de super-localisation tridimensionnelle dans le cadre d'études d'adhésion cellulaire et de résistance bactérienne.Ensuite, nous nous concentrons au développement d'une nouvelle méthode de microscopie de localisation de molécules uniques tri-dimensionnelle permettant l'élimination de biais de détection. Ceci est permis par le couplage entre deux stratégies complémentaires: la mise en forme de fonction d'étalement de point, et la détection de la fluorescence d'angle super-critique. L'intercorrélation et la recombinaison des informations latérales et axiales permet l'obtention d'une résolution quasi-isotrope, avec des précisions jusqu'à 15 nanomètres sur une plage de capture d'un micron. Nous mettons en évidence l'insensibilité de la méthode aux biais d'imagerie comme la dérive axiale, l'aberration chromatique et l'inclinaison de l'échantillon, et nous l'illustrons à travers des applications à la neurobiologie et au marquage de bactéries.Pour finir, nous présentons deux nouvelles approches pour le découplage d'acquisitions multi-espèces simultanées. Toutes deux basées entièrement sur le post-traitement des données acquises, elles exploitent respectivement la mesure des tailles des taches et le comportement dynamique du clignotement. Après une preuve de principe, nous évaluons l'impact des différents paramètres susceptibles d'influencer les résultats. Nous concluons en proposant des pistes d'amélioration des performances de découplage, et en suggérant de possibles couplages avec des méthodes complémentaires en imagerie de molécules uniques.
Cell biology relies on imaging tools to provide structural and dynamic information about samples. Among them, fluorescence microscopy offers a compromise between high specificity and low toxicity. Recently, super-resolution methods overcame the diffraction barrier to unlock new fields of investigation. Single molecule approaches prove especially useful for three-dimensional nanoscale imaging, and allow couplings between different detection modalities. Still, their use is hindered by the complexity of the…

▼ L’imagerie tridimensionnelle par localisation de molécules uniques (SMLM) permet d’obtenir des résolutions de quelques dizaines de nanomètres mais présentent encore certaines limitations liées notamment à une précision axiale non uniforme et une profondeur d’observation souvent limitée au premier micron de l’échantillon. Nous proposons ici une nouvelle approche de localisation de molécules uniques, appelée ModLoc, qui repose sur la modulation et la démodulation du signal de fluorescence des molécules uniques via l’utilisation d’une excitation structurée et modulée temporellement. Dans un premier temps, nous exposons les fondamentaux de l’imagerie SMLM et les limites actuelles de ce domaine. Les subtilités de ce nouveau principe de localisation sont ensuite détaillées et montrent un gain de précision théorique d’un facteur 3. Des études du caractère temporel aléatoire de l’émission des sondes fluorescentes en imagerie SMLM révèlent la nécessité d’intégrer des solutions optiques rapides (proche du kHz). La validation expérimentale du gain en précision accessible est démontrée grâce à la mise en place de deux dispositifs optiques. Nous choisissons d’appliquer ce principe afin d’améliorer la précision de localisation axiale des molécules fluorescentes. Les résultats obtenus mettent en évidence une précision de localisation uniforme de 7.5 nm et jusqu’à 7 microns en profondeur sur des échantillons de calibrations et des échantillons biologiques. La robustesse de la méthode pour l’imagerie SMLM en profondeur est également démontrée grâce notamment à des acquisitions effectuées à 30 µm de profondeur dans des milieux aberrants. Différentes pistes d’amélioration du dispositif actuel ainsi que l’extension de cette approche de localisation modulée à l’observation d’autres grandeurs telle que le temps de vie et l’orientation des molécules fluorescentes sont proposées.
Three-dimensional imaging by localization of single molecules (SMLM) makes it possible to obtain resolutions of a few tens of nanometers, but still has certain limitations related in particular to non-uniform axial precision and a depth of observation often limited to the first micron of the sample. We propose here a new approach to single molecule localization, called ModLoc, which is based on the modulation and demodulation of the fluorescence signal of single molecules through the use of structured and time-modulated excitation. First, we present the fundamentals of SMLM imaging and the current limitations of this field. The subtleties of this new localization principle are then detailed and show a theoretical gain in precision by a factor of 3. Temporal emission studies of fluorescent probes in SMLM imaging reveal the need to integrate fast optical solutions (close to kHz). Experimental validation of the precision gain is demonstrated by the implementation of two optical devices. We choose to apply this principle in order to improve the accuracy of axial localization of fluorescent molecules. The results obtained show a uniform localization precision of 7.5…

▼ The design and function of a Strucutred Illumination system for use as part of an Adaptive Optics Structured Illumination Microscope (AOSIM) is presented. After successful implementation of AO in a standard widefield microscope, our lab wanted to apply the technology to a more advanced imaging modality that has a lot to gain from the AO system. SIM allows us to reconstruct an image with resolution beyond the Rayleigh limit of the optics, called a super-resolution image, by aliasing high spatial frequencies, outside the limit of the optics, to lower frequencies within the system pass band. The aliasing is accomplished by spatially modulating the illumination at a frequency near the cutoff frequency of the system. These aliased frequencies are superimposed on the lower spatial frequencies of the object in our image. Using multiple images and an inverse algorithm, we separate the aliased and normal frequencies, restore them to their original frequency positions, and recreate the original spectrum of the object. This allows us to recreate a super-resolution image of the object. We show that our SIM system creates images that are a higher resolution than a standard wide-field microscope.

▼ Allergic signaling is initiated on the plasma membrane of mast cells through cross-linking of immunoglobulin E (IgE) bound to its receptor, Fc[epsilon]RI, by multivalent antigen. Signaling proceeds through controlled spatial assembly of Fc[epsilon]RI receptors with interaction partners in a process that gives rise to specific signaling outcomes. Antigenstimulated redistribution of signaling molecules has proven difficult to characterize by fluorescence imaging due to the small length scales over which this redistribution occurs. We employ
super-
resolution fluorescence localization
microscopy to measure antigen-stimulated changes in the nanoscale organization and mobility of Fc[epsilon]RI, as well as its spatial association with its signaling partner Lyn kinase, with the goal of understanding the physical mechanisms by which spatial redistribution of signaling molecules on the membrane causes the initiation of the signaling response. Using
super-
resolution imaging, we record receptor organization and dynamics on live mast cells undergoing antigen-mediated signaling, allowing us to measure nanoscale clustering and diffusion of Fc[epsilon]RI simultaneously. Through comparison of cross-linking-induced changes in these properties as a function of time, we are able to resolve two distinct temporal phases of receptor clustering and immobilization. We correlate the time-dependence of the distinct phases with a functional signaling iii response, Ca2+ mobilization, to assess the relevance of each phase to the onset of signaling. We also use
super-
resolution imaging to measure interactions of Fc[epsilon]RI with Lyn. Because of the improved
resolution of our imaging technique, we detect coupling of Lyn to cross-linked IgE-Fc[epsilon]RI that occurs at early stages after antigen stimulation and is associated with the initiation of the stimulated response. Lyn association with Fc[epsilon]RI is assessed through direct imaging, and we can measure the average physical properties of Lyn/Fc[epsilon]RI co-clusters. Through this quantitative approach, we examine mechanisms of regulation of Lyn co-redistribution with IgE-Fc[epsilon]RI. In particular we show that the actin cytoskeleton negatively regulates Fc[epsilon]RI signaling by reducing the local accumulation of Lyn with Fc[epsilon]RI clusters during the onset of the response. The spatial
resolution afforded by this technique makes it an effective tool for investigating interactions that give rise to the changes in the organization or mobility of signaling molecules during the initiation of signaling, and how these changes translate into cellular functions. iv

▼ In this dissertation, I extend the scope and quality of the information that may be gained from a single-molecule imaging data set. First, I investigate a more analytically accurate point spread fitting function for use in determining not only the location of fluorescent molecules but also its in-frame displacement. This contrasts with previous work that determined the displacement through an empirically derived calibration function. Some improvements are shown to be possible by using the new sum of error functions (SErf) fitting function instead of the previously used asymmetric Gaussian. Secondly, I analyze the extremely quickly diffusing molecules inside bacteria. These diffusing molecules are found to be so blurred by in-frame motion so as to prohibit accurate localization and thus preclude the subsequent use of single particle tracking for determining the molecules’ diffusive properties. Instead I implement for the first time in bacteria spatio-temporal image correlation spectroscopy (STICS), which does not suffer from in-frame blur in the same way as SPT. I did, however, find two biases inherent to STICS and describe their causes to be experimental deviation from the expected diffusive step size distributions due to in-frame motion and tight confinement. Finally I consider the multi-step fitting process commonly used to determine the mean squared displacement (MSD) of diffusing molecules via the cumulative probability distribution (CPD). I find that by combining the CPD and MSD fits into a single, multi-domain fit, the number of free parameters in the fitting procedure can be reduced from dozens to fewer than 10. This reduction in the fitting degrees of freedom is due to combining redundant parameters, and both improved the precision of diffusion coefficient estimation as well as the likelihood that the fitting procedure produced physically relevant results. These three areas of focus expand the scope of single-molecule
super-
resolution data analysis by simplifying a method of determining instantaneous displacements of point light sources, and improve the quality of both spatiotemporal image correlation spectroscopy in bacteria and single-particle tracking analysis via cumulative probability distributions of squared step sizes.

▼ The error-free progression of DNA replication is essential for all organisms. Approximately 80 known human diseases are caused by malfunction in DNA replication, and deficiencies in DNA repair mechanisms can also lead to severe consequences such as increased antibiotic resistance in bacteria and cancers in humans. A better understanding of DNA replication and repair requires knowledge of the key players along relevant pathways at the molecular level and in the cellular context. This characterization calls for a technique with superior sensitivity, accuracy and biocompatibility. In this thesis, we integrate single-molecule
super-
resolution microscopy and single-particle tracking with genetic and genomic approaches to study two proteins that play a pivotal role in maintaining genomic integrity: MutS and PolC.
From prokaryotes to human cells, homologs of the highly conserved mismatch repair (MMR) protein MutS recognize mispaired nucleotides and recruit the proteins responsible for downstream repair. Although the structure and function of MutS have been extensively characterized in biochemical isolation, it remains unclear how MutS efficiently identifies, among millions of correctly paired bases, a single mismatch in the complex and crowded cellular environment. To obtain mechanistic insights into MMR initiation from an in vivo perspective, we applied
super-
resolution imaging in live Bacillus subtilis cells to follow the motion of single MutS proteins in real time, and we monitored how MutS behavior is affected by sequentially blocking critical steps along the MMR pathway. Our results demonstrate an intimate and dynamic coupling between MutS and the replisome which stages MutS to sites of DNA replication, allowing MutS to scan newly synthesized DNA in anticipation of errors largely free of obstacles.
We then turn our focus to DNA replication itself. Specifically, we focused on PolC, one of the two essential DNA polymerases in B. subtilis. Based on photobleaching-assisted
microscopy and three-dimensional
super-
resolution microscopy, we quantified the stoichiometry, intracellular locations and dynamics of PolC.
Finally, we extended the application of
super-
resolution microscopy to the field of renewable energy by tracking single molecules and visualizing guest-host interactions in microporous coordination polymers (MCPs).

Some improvements are shown to be possible by using the new sum of error functions (SErf) fitting function instead of the previously used asymmetric Gaussian. Secondly, I analyze the extremely quickly diffusing molecules inside bacteria. These diffusing molecules are found to be so blurred by in-frame motion so as to prohibit accurate localization and thus preclude the subsequent use of single particle tracking for determining the molecules’ diffusive properties. Instead I implement for the first time in bacteria spatio-temporal image correlation spectroscopy (STICS), which does not suffer from in-frame blur in the same way as SPT. I did, however, find two biases inherent to STICS and describe their causes to be experimental deviation from the expected diffusive step size distributions due to in-frame motion and tight confinement. Finally I consider the multi-step fitting process commonly used to determine the mean squared displacement (MSD) of diffusing molecules via the cumulative probability distribution (CPD). I find that by combining the CPD and MSD fits into a single, multi-domain fit, the number of free parameters in the fitting procedure can be reduced from dozens to fewer than 10. This reduction in the fitting degrees of freedom is due to combining redundant parameters, and both improved the precision of diffusion coefficient estimation as well as the likelihood that the fitting procedure produced physically relevant results. These three areas of focus expand the scope of single-molecule
super-
resolution data analysis by simplifying a method of determining instantaneous displacements of point light sources, and improve the quality of both spatiotemporal image correlation spectroscopy in bacteria and single-particle tracking analysis via cumulative probability distributions of squared step sizes.

▼ The nucleoplasmic reticulum (NR) and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) are critical intracellular subdomains within the cardiomyocyte. Despite their importance, there are large gaps of knowledge regarding these compartments. Here, I elucidated some of the molecular constituents within the NR of mouse ventricular cardiomyocytes, which contain SR and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins, including SERCA2A, RyR2, and calnexin. For the first time, I revealed the presence of STIM1 within these invaginations, suggesting the existence of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) mechanisms within nuclei. Furthermore, super-resolution imaging (dSTORM) quantitatively assessed nanoscale changes in SR protein cluster properties with pressure-overload cardiac hypertrophy. DHPR and RyR2 reorganized into dispersed, low-density protein clusters; in contrast, SERCA2A became sequestered into highly dense protein clusters. Moreover, the
amount and size of SERCA2A-containing nuclear invaginations increased in pathological hypertrophy. These findings shed light on the molecular constituents of the NR and reveal the dynamic nature of the SR in disease.

Regulation of Natural Killer cell cytotoxicity by

(more)
▼ Natural Killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic lymphocytes
that can recognize and kill virally infected or tumour transformed
cells by the secretion of cytolytic granules containing perforin.
An individual NK cell can kill several target cells sequentially.
Each target cell can trigger NK cell activation via different
activating ligands and here we report that the order in which
ligands are encountered affects the NK cell response. When NK cells
are repeatedly activated via their Fc receptor CD16, with the
therapeutic antibody rituximab, perforin secretion decreases with
each stimulation. However, perforin secretion is restored to its
initial level upon subsequent activation by MICA, which ligates
NKG2D. Repeated stimulation of NK cells via MICA also decreases the
degranulation capacity of NK cells but, strikingly, this effect
cannot be rescued by a subsequent stimulation with rituximab. The
strength of perforin secretion is also translated to killing of
Daudi target cells, expressing different ligands. When Daudi,
opsonised with rituximab is the first target NK cell encounters,
the sequential killing of another opsonised rituximab or Daudi,
expressing MICA will not be affected. But, when Daudi-MICA is met
first, the consecutive killing of Daudi-MICA as well as
Daudi-rituximab will be impaired. We found that the mechanism
underlying these differential outcomes involves shedding of CD16,
which occurs upon NK cell activation through both, CD16 and NKG2D.
Shedding of CD16 renders the cells insensitive to further
activation via that receptor but they remain competent for further
activation through NKG2D. Interestingly, however, we also
identified the beneficial role of CD16 shedding for NK cell serial
killing. NK cells are more motile on rituximab-coated surfaces than
on MICA-coated surfaces and their migration speed decreases upon
inhibition of CD16 shedding. Moreover, the inhibition of CD16
shedding also prevents the NK cell detachment from rituximab
opsonised Daudi cells. Thus, the shedding of the receptor can serve
to augment NK cell motility to move between target cells. Efficient
NK cell detachment also correlated with their increased survival.
Finally, we report that CD16 is constitutively organised in small,
dense nanoclusters and that the ligation with rituximab does not
affect their spatial distribution. Despite the shedding of the
receptor, leading to less protein molecules at the surface, the
area of these clusters remains the same. Together these data
suggest that CD16 shedding hinders NK cell cytotoxicity against
opsonised targets, but promotes their movements between different
targets. Thus, receptor shedding is important for efficient NK cell
serial killing. Manipulation of CD16 shedding, perhaps by boosting
its recovery, might therefore represent an important target for NK
cell-based therapies including treatments with therapeutic
antibodies.

▼ Super-
resolution fluorescence
microscopy enables researchers to directly observe details of biological systems on the nanoscale. However, current methods are often costly, require considerable skill, and necessitate the use of specialized instrumentation, all of which have limited the widespread use of
super-
resolution techniques. Expansion
microscopy, which physically enlarges the specimen and enables ~65 nm
resolution using standard confocal
microscopy, is an inexpensive and easy-to-implement compliment to current
super-
resolution imaging modalities. Due to its low barrier of entry and ability to resolve nanoscale features with standard microscopes, it has the potential to find use in a broad range of biological research areas. Here, I discuss the development, validation, and optimization of new expansion
microscopy protocols for various biological specimens including those which have previously been incompatible with this method. Additionally, I demonstrate applications in Drosophila neurobiology as well as mouse and human nephrology.

▼ Super-
Resolution microscopy has transformed our ability to image biological specimens at the nanoscale with high contrast and molecular specificity. However, acquiring 3-dimensional images over large volumes remains a challenge because the imaging process causes fluorophores outside the focal volume to photobleach before they can be imaged. Additionally, acquiring highly multiplexed images is challenging due to a lack of spectrally distinct fluorophores which possess the required photophysical properties for
super-
resolution imaging. Here I present my work which specifically addresses these issues. In chapter 2 I first discuss the importance of sample preparation for
super-
resolution imaging. In chapter 3 I introduce a novel labeling scheme called probe-refresh STORM (prSTORM) which enables practitioners obtain multiplexed, extended-depth
super-
resolution images with a single dye, and in chapter 4 I show the importance of hardware for
super-
resolution microscopy

▼ Plasmonic nanostructures offer a wealth of novel optical properties but optimization of their structure-function relationship with superlocalization techniques is hindered by the modification of point spread functions (PSFs) due to nanoantenna effects. The biasing of PSFs towards nanoparticle centers has been widely investigated, while the biasing of PSFs away from nanowires (NWs) has not received much attention in literature. I investigate the localization bias and extra localizations observed in wide-field fluorescence microscope movies collected by collaborators of Alexa 647 dye labeled Ag nanowires imaged under remote excitation. I introduce and focus on two main classes of abnormal PSFs: single-lobed PSFs exhibiting a variable localization bias based on position around the nanowire (NW) and bi-lobed PSFs occurring near the top edge of the NW. Finite-difference time-domain simulations show that the localization bias for these two populations form distinct distributions for NW diameters below 300 nm. The experimental apparent width of these NWs suggests a larger population of bi-lobed PSFs due to heterogeneous emission of Alexa 647 dependent on dye position. I also present a novel fitting method for these abnormal PSFs using Hermite-Gaussian basis functions and show that dipole emitter orientation is encoded in multi-lobed PSFs.

▼ Multiphoton
Microscopy (MPM) has provided the
biomedical imaging field a methodology to perform high
resolution,
3D, fluorescent imaging deeper and with less photodamage than other
technologies, such as confocal
microscopy. These features have
proven MPM as an excellent tool for extit{in vivo} studies.
However, most MPM studies use external probes or genetically
modified animals thereby adding complexity and potentially
interfering with the function of the system in question. Further,
though MPM is capable of some of the highest
resolution imaging at
depth, it is bound by diffraction and scattering which limit
resolution to sub-cellular levels and penetration depth to mm
scales. This work attempts to circumvent the current limitations of
MPM in two ways. First, to expand the utility of label free MPM by
characterizing intrinsic signals which could be leveraged for
meaningful studies of the rare and neglected disease, sickle cell
disease (SCD). Secondly, a method is proposed to drive the
resolving power and imaging depth of MPM
further. Towards these goals, studies of true \
extit{in situ} samples were used without external labels to perform
clinically relevant investigations of SCD which could later be
useful for extit{in vivo} monitoring in mouse models and therapy
testing. Additionally, this work describes a nonlinear
microscopy
technique which leverages saturation effects for the development of
a fluorescence
microscopy technology capable of
super-
resolution
imaging in thick, scattering tissue. Imaging of
intrinsic two photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) is performed on
humanized SCD mouse model splenic tissue. Distinct morphological
and spectral features associated with SCD are identified and
discussed in terms of diagnostic relevance. Specifically,
spectrally unique splenic iron-complex deposits are identified by
MPM; this finding is supported by TPEF spectroscopy and object size
to standard histopathological methods. Further, iron deposits are
found at higher concentrations by all imaging methods employed here
including MPM in diseased tissue than in healthy tissue and
therefore may provide a useful optical biomarker related to the
disease state. These newly characterized biomarkers allow for
further investigations of SCD in live animals as a means to gain
insight into the mechanisms impacting immune dysregulation and
organ malfunction in SCD, which are currently not well
understood. Additionally, the photophysical
properties of human SCD Hemoglobin (Hb) is characterized by
multi-photon
microscopy (MPM). The intrinsic TPEF signal associated
with extracted hemoglobin was investigated and the solidified SCD
variant (HbS) was found to demonstrate broad emission peaking
around 510 nm when excited at 800 nm. MPM is used to dynamically
induce and image HbS gelling by photolysis of deoxygenated HbS. For
comparison, photolysis conditions were applied to a healthy variant
of human hemoglobin (HbA) and found to remain in solution not
forming fibers. The use of this signal to study the mechanism…

▼ CEACAMs are cell surface glycoproteins involved in homo- and heterophilic intercellular interactions that control cellular growth, differentiation, tumourigenesis, inflammation and infection. There is growing evidence that CEACAM1 isoforms regulate the cellular response to CEACAM1-mediated interactions between various cell types. Reinforcing this point, given its potential as a tumour suppressor and immunomodulator, CEACAM1 is being targeted for clinical development. However, there remain clear challenges owing to the observation that different CEACAM1 isoforms display cell-type specific expression patterns under different physiological conditions. Moreover, the ability of CEACAMs to form dimers and higher-order oligomers, which are thought to impact regulation of intercellular signals, add considerable complexity to our understanding of its functional role(s).
Super resolution microscopy has enabled the quantitative characterization of the nanoscale distribution of several membrane proteins, revealing cluster hierarchies at the micro- and nano-scale. However, clustering and self-association are not necessarily the same piece of information and may have very different effects on the cellular response, so mapping the preferential nanoscale distribution of the various self-association states is of particular interest to many.
This thesis reports on the development and application of a correlative STORM/homoFRET strategy to study CEACAM1 isoforms and mutants. We have further explored the use of single particle tracking (SPT) and mean square displacement analysis to characterize CEACAM1 dynamics as a function of oligomeric state and location. Building on these datasets, we have applied co-localization and co-occurrence approaches to measure CEACAM1 association to lipid-ordered regions, ezrin and actin. Finally, we present a set of preliminary methods and results that will serve to further the study of membrane protein clustering and self-association and their link to function. Together, this thesis aims to develop a more fulsome perspective on structure, association and dynamics of the CEACAM1 membrane protein while providing methodological approaches to tackle similar questions.

▼ Super-
resolution microscopy techniques developed through the past few decades enable us to surpass the classical diffraction limit of light, and thus open new doors to investigate the formerly inaccessible world of nanometer-sized objects. Most importantly, by using
super-
resolution microscopy, one can visualize sub-cellular structures in the range of 10 to 200 nm. At this range, we can investigate exciting problems in biology and medicine by visualizing protein-protein interactions and spatiotemporal analysis of structures of interest on the surface or inside cells. These techniques (collectively known as nanoscopy) have a high impact on understanding and solving biological questions. This dissertation starts with a brief and general description of current
super-
resolution techniques and then moves toward a multi-target
super-
resolution imaging strategy using sequential imaging that has benefits over conventional multi-color imaging methods.
Sequential
microscopy takes advantage of the photo-physical properties of the most suitable dye for a particular technique to achieve the optimal and consistent
resolution for each of multiple targets of imaging. For example, for dSTORM imaging, this is currently AlexaFluor647. Sequential dSTROM has an advantage for multi-target imaging due to having a single imaging channel which avoids dealing with differential aberration-problems between multiple emission paths unlike other multi-color imaging based methods. We show that sequential imaging method can be facilitated using automated imaging.
In this dissertation, a sequential microscope is designed, calibrated, and tested on multiple structures. We show that it can automatically re-find the position of each initially registered cell and can account for sample drift through an entire experiment. The microscope has been used in multiple collaborations with other groups to investigate biological problems of interest.
Two labeling strategies that facilitate sequential imaging are described. The first strategy is DNA-strand-displacement , which allows imaging of multiple structures in a controlled and time-efficient binding-unbinding scenario. The second strategy is imaging with the small, actin binding peptide Lifeact.
Finally, future directions and suggestions are made about how we can further improve the microscope. In the Appendix I provide a guide on how to use and troubleshoot the microscope, how to measure the efficiency of the microscope, as well as how to fix and label cells for optimal imaging and how to prepare various imaging buffers.

▼ Optical
microscopy plays a crucial role in the biological sciences for its ability to enable visualization of biological samples at sub-cellular levels. Many imaging subdivisions exist under this umbrella of general
microscopy, and each are tailored towards specific design, contrast, and visualization constraints. Standard examples that have found widespread use include dark-field, phase-contrast, holographic, and fluorescent microscopies. However, a critical factor that physically limits the optical
resolution of general
microscopy is diffraction. Unfortunately, this “diffraction-limit” can prevent visualization of significant biologically relevant structures, which in turn can limit biological insights. In response to such a limit, several works have advanced the field of sub-diffraction
resolution imaging, which consist of optical imaging techniques that seek to achieve imaging resolutions beyond that which is allowed by the diffraction-limit. This set of techniques can largely be divided into two classes. The first class of sub-diffraction techniques is targeted towards cases where the sample is coherently illuminated and diffracts into the imaging system’s aperture. For such cases, synthetic aperture (SA) is a popular choice and operates by using oblique illuminations to spatiotemporally synthesize a wider frequency support into the image than allowed by the diffraction limit. The second class of sub-diffraction techniques, often referred to as "
super-
resolution" techniques, typically utilize specialized fluorophores with either photoswitching or depletion capabilities. Photoactivated localization
microscopy (PALM) is a
super-
resolution example that localizes photoswitchable fluorophores to sub-diffraction resolutions per acquisition, before combining into a final
super-resolved image. Stimulated emission depletion (STED) is another
super-
resolution example that spatially modulates its excitation to narrow its optical point-spread-function. Unfortunately, SA and fluorescent
super-
resolution techniques are generally incompatible for sub-diffraction
resolution fluorescent and coherent imaging, respectively – thus, a multimodal sub-diffraction imaging solution compatible with both coherent and fluorescent imaging has remained elusive. In this dissertation, we demonstrate that structured illumination (SI) is a sub-diffraction technique compatible with both diffractive and fluorescent imaging. We first develop the theoretical framework that extends SI to coherent imaging and experimentally demonstrate SI’s capabilities for 2D sub-diffraction
resolution imaging of coherently diffractive samples. Sub-diffraction
resolution imaging based on scattering intensity and transmission-based quantitative-phase (QP) are shown. In addition, we show extend SI to 3D coherent imaging, and show applications of this towards 3D QP and refractive-index (RI) tomography. Finally, we show multimodal applications of SI that allow sub-diffraction
resolution fluorescent and coherent imaging, which has great potential utility for…
