Abstract
Being a label-free technique, iSCAT has emerged as a powerful tool complementary to fluorescence microscopy because its superb spatio-temporal resolution holds great promise in biological investigations ranging from detection of nm-sized proteins to real-time dynamics of organelles in vivo. Here we present the polarization-selective iSCAT (psiSCAT) microscopy to detect the orientation and anisotropy of nano-objects. We also succeeded in developing the remote-focusing iSCAT (RF-iSCAT) to realize fast, vibration-free, 3D imaging over a long z-tracking range (< 5 μm). We envisage that our achievement would greatly advance the field of single-particle tracking into new dimensions with superb precision and sensitivity.
