NanoNerds | Making Molecular Movies with QSTORM @NanoNerds | Uploaded August 2013 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Hear about a team of researchers who are trying to make a major breakthrough in biological imaging - setting up lights and cameras for capturing the tiniest molecular machines in action inside living cells. This video is a recording of a public stage presentation developed by the Strategic Projects group at the Museum of Science that shares this research collaboration (called QSTORM) with general audiences. You can find out more about their research at http://www.qstorm.org.

The Q in QSTORM stands for quantum dots, and STORM is an acronym for a technique of STochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy. The QSTORM team plans to combine three elements: user-controlled quantum dots, STORM imaging algorithms, and adaptive optics (AO), to produce the world's first super-resolution in vivo imaging technology. If the team achieves success, this new technology will allow biologists to observe biological structures and processes in action at a resolution below the limit of light microscopy (~ 200 nanometers).
