摘要

Spontaneously blinking fluorophores toggle between nonfluorescent and fluorescent forms without caging groups or redox buffers, enabling super-resolution imaging. The intrinsic blinking of such dyes is governed by molecular structure and modulated by environment; there is no one-size-fits-all fluorophore suitable for every imaging context. We report dyes with tuned on:off ratios that enable single-molecule localization microscopy and super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging of biomolecular structures in vitro and in cells.
