Abstract
Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM) and its ability to resolve < 100 nm structures has generated an evergrowing demand in biomedical research. This technique is highly relevant when trying to gain better understanding of biological structures details or cellular machinery in infectious models. The Imaging and Modelling Unit led by C. Zimmer developed an open optical and computational method based on Zernike Optimised Localisation Approach (ZOLA) enabling 3D localization of single molecules using point spread function (PSF) engineering in the detection path. This technique offers different performances and trade-off depending on the required application. This unique flexibility is relevant when dealing with various types of samples and models as those presented to an Imaging core facility. We will present how the Unit of Technology and Services (UTechS) Photonic Bio Imaging (PBI), the imaging platform of Institut Pasteur in Paris has conducted the technological transfer of ZOLA 3D from a research laboratory to a Bio Safety Level 2 (BSL2) ISO 9001 core facility. This will make flexible 3D super-resolution imaging accessible to a wide range of biological projects, including the study of pathogens.
