Electrical & Systems Engineering PhD Virtual Information Session

The orientations and positions of fluorescent molecules quantified by single-molecule orientation localization microscopy (SMOLM) highlight their sensing capabilities. By visualizing how Nile red transiently binds to grooves formed by crossed-beta sheets, SMOLM resolves the organization of amyloid fibers that cannot be detected by standard localization microscopy.

WashU Expert: Optical microscopes take a big leap forward

Thanks to Matthew Lew’s research, we can now see not just where a molecule is in matter, but also where it is “facing.” The positive implications for research in biomedicine and nanotechnology are profound.
