Abstract
Identifying biomolecules of interest in cryogenic electron tomography (CET) reconstructions is made challenging by the lack of non-perturbative and specific labeling methods compatible with CET. Combining fluorescence and CET is a promising approach to overcome this labeling limitation. However, diffraction-limited fluorescence data has insufficient resolution to provide clear labeling in the crowded cellular environment. Super-resolution fluorescence techniques achieve resolution on the tens of nanometers scale, making them compatible with the length scales of interest in labeling biomolecules in CET. I will discuss the development of a cryogenic single-molecule based super-resolution imaging approach that achieves an average localization precision of less than ten nanometers and is compatible with the latest CET methods.
