Instruments based on direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM) are used to image the absorption of proteins by cells.

The resolution of traditional microscopes is limited because of optical diffraction. Super-resolution imaging methods, like dSTORM, have been proposed to break this resolution barrier down and provide imaging at the molecular scale.

The work was in collaboration with scientists from the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology at the University of Cambridge.
