Abstract

A new yolk-shell type nanoprobe for super-resolution imaging is demonstrated. Using the proposed nanoprobe and single molecule localization based super resolution imaging strategy, intracellular nanoparticle tracking and super-resolution imaging are realized. The localization precision is about 50 nm and single-molecule localization microscopy using the proposed nanoprobe requires only one single excitation laser and no specific imaging buffer.
