Resolving the Three-Dimensional Rotational and Translational Dynamics of Single Molecules Using Radially and Azimuthally Polarized Fluorescence

Oumeng Zhang et al.

Summary: We present a radially and azimuthally polarized microscope that achieves high detection and estimation performance in single-molecule orientation-localization microscopy (SMOLM). This microscope allows us to measure the localization, orientation, and rotational wobble of Nile red (NR) within supported lipid bilayers (SLBs). The imaging results reveal the presence of randomly oriented binding pockets and cholesterol-rich nanodomains within the SLBs.

Single-molecule orientation localization microscopy I: fundamental limits

Oumeng Zhang et al.

Summary: This study proposes a mathematical framework to derive the best possible precision for measuring the position and orientation of dipole-like emitters in any fixed imaging system. It is found that designing an instrument to achieve the maximum sensitivity limit for measuring all possible rotational motions is impossible. Additionally, the best quantum-limited localization precision is shown to be 4%-8% worse than suggested by a scalar monopole model through a vectorial dipole imaging model.

Information bounds in determining the 3D orientation of a single emitter or scatterer using point-detector-based division-of-amplitude polarimetry

Joseph S. Beckwith et al.

Summary: Determining the 3D orientation of a single molecule or particle using division-of-amplitude polarimetry involves splitting emitted/scattered light into multiple polarizations and measuring light intensity. Cramer-Rao lower bounds are derived for this method, showing different information contents for photons in scattering and fluorescence cases. The study provides guidelines for experimental design and interpretation in the future.

Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy of 3D Orientation and Anisotropic Wobble Using a Polarized Vortex Point Spread Function

Tianben Ding et al.

Summary: The polarized vortex point spread function (PSF) allows for precise measurement of position, orientation, and wobble of molecules simultaneously from a single image, even for dim emitters. This method can be used to measure emission anisotropy, wobble dynamics, and orientation signatures of different substances, transforming single-molecule microscopes into nanoscale orientation imaging spectrometers.

Simultaneous orientation and 3D localization microscopy with a Vortex point spread function

Christiaan N. Hulleman et al.

Summary: This study introduces a compact modified PSF for single molecule emitter imaging, allowing for simultaneous estimation of the 3D position, dipole orientation, and degree of rotational constraint from a single 2D image. The resulting Vortex PSF does not require polarization splitting and can achieve orientation and position estimation within 30% of the Cramer-Rao bound limit over a 66 μm field of view. This technique has been successfully demonstrated on lambda-DNA with DNA intercalators, showing promising applications in localization microscopy.
