The cover image shows fluorescence images of single immobilized double-stranded oligonucleotides. With photophysical and-chemical properties of fluorophores being the key to breaking the diffraction resolution barrier, the development of far-field fluorescence nanoscopy depends crucially on improved fluorescent probes. Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy is combined with fluorophore stabilization through a reducing and oxidizing system (ROXS), and a significant improvement of photostability is demonstrated. This improvement can be exploited either for repetitive measurements necessary for 3D or dynamic STED imaging, or for maximizing its resolution. A lateral resolution< 30 nm is demonstrated in the raw image data recorded from single organic fluorophores immobilized in an aqueous buffer.
