The Campus Microscopy & Imaging Facility (CMIF) at the Ohio State University has recently acquired a new high resolution microscope that uses the latest in high resolution fluorescence techniques. The new system is from Nikon, called the N-SIM S. It includes integrated components to perform super-resolution structured illumination microscopy (SIM) and stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM). This post highlights four examples of what the system can do and briefly describes the basic principles behind the underlying microscopy techniques.
