Abstract
The article focuses on the enhancement of fluorescence in low power continuous-wave stimulated emission depletion (CW-STED) microscopy, by applying pulsed excitation with time-gated detection imaging of living cells. Topics include detection of nanoscale molecular interactions by fluorescence, reduction in signal-to-noise ratio and comparison of keratin cell by CW-STED and gate-STED (g-STED). It further mentions the detection of lipid molecules in the plasma membrane of living cells.
