Abstract

ARROYO-PIECK, Andrés  and  PEON, Jorge. Super-resolved fluorescence microscopy. Educ. quím [online]. 2015, vol.26, n.1, pp.50-51. ISSN 0187-893X.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2014 was awarded to the developers of modern optical fluorescence microscopy techniques that allow imaging of living systems with nanometer resolution. These methodologies also allow for the time-resolved tracking of chemical and biochemical processes at the single molecule level. The works of Eric Betzig, Stefan W. Hell and William E. Moerner have given us extraordinary tools to study biological systems at unprecedented levels of spatial resolution.

Keywords : Nobel Prize 2014; chemistry; super-resolved microscopy.
