PI @ Westlake University working on super-resolution microscopy.
We are happy to share our latest work, 4Pi-SIMFLUX, which combines structured illumination with interferometric detection to achieve near-isotropic 3D localization precision of 2–3 nm and resolve sub-10 nm structural features across whole mammalian cells.

New Preprint!
Ex-dSTORM resolves fine details of the molecular architecture of CCPs, the 8-nm periodicity of microtubules, and the docking site of synaptic vesicles at the presynapse of hippocampal neurons.
