Article Abstract
This article reviews recent super-resolution (SR) optical imaging techniques for cellular study, encompassing structured illumination microscopy (SIM), point-scanning super-resolution (PS-SR) microscopy, single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), mathematical and deep learning (DL) SR algorithms. Historically, the resolution of traditional far-field optical imaging was constrained by the diffraction limit. The emergence of SR imaging techniques and image processing algorithms has propelled biological research into nanoscale realm. SIM enhances resolution by manipulating spatial frequency content, effectively doubling the resolution capacity of traditional microscopy. PS-SR imaging, on the other hand, offers superior optical sectioning and a high signal-to-noise ratio. SMLM has achieved a remarkable spatial resolution of approximately 20 nm and supports multi-color, wide-field-of-view (FOV), automated 3D high-throughput imaging, thus broadening the horizons for advanced biomedical investigations. Additionally, both mathematical and DL-based SR algorithms have significantly advanced the conversion of low-resolution images to high-resolution counterparts, extending the capabilities of conventional microscopes. This review underscores the principles, recent developments, and diverse applications of these cutting-edge SR imaging methodologies in biological research.

Intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) has represented a revolutionary invasive imaging method, offering high-resolution cross-sectional views of human coronary arteries, thereby promoting a significant evolution in the understanding of vascular biology in both acute and chronic coronary pathologies. Since the development of OCT in the early 1990s, this technique has provided detailed insights into vascular biology, enabling a more thorough assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the impact of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Moreover, a series of recent clinical trials has consistently demonstrated the clinical benefits of intravascular imaging (IVI) and OCT-guided PCI, showing improved outcomes compared to angiography-guided procedures, particularly in cases of complex coronary pathology.

As a cutting-edge super-resolution imaging technique, structured illumination microscopy (SIM) has been widely used in cell biology research, especially in the analysis of subcellular organelles and monitoring of their dynamic processes. Through multiple illumination and reconstruction processes, SIM breaks through the resolution limitations of traditional microscopes and can observe the fine structures within cells in real time with nanoscale resolution. This provides strong technical support for in-depth analyses of molecular mechanisms, organelle functions, signaling networks, and metabolic regulatory pathways within cells.

Controlled photoactivation is an auspicious and emerging approach in super-resolution microscopy, offering virtually zero background signal from the marker prior to activation. Pyronins are well-established fluorophores, but due to their inherent intercalating tendency towards nucleic acids, their use has been mostly avoided in super-resolution microscopy. Here, we describe a new class of diaryl ether and diaryl silane molecules that upon photoactivation close into fluorescent (silicon-)pyronins and term them Pyronin Upon Light Irradiation (PULI).
