AbsrtactAchieving nanometer precision in 3D remains a major challenge in super-resolution microscopy. DNA-PAINT offers excellent lateral resolution and versatile multiplexing, but its axial localization precision is typically 3-5 times poorer, limiting quantitative 3D imaging. Here, we present MIET-PAINT, which combines DNA-PAINT with Metal-Induced Energy Transfer (MIET) to overcome this limitation. We implement MIET-PAINT on both wide-field fluorescence lifetime and confocal TCSPC platforms. Wide-field MIET-PAINT enables robust, multiplexed imaging of focal adhesion proteins and actin in fixed cells. To address the lateral resolution limits of lifetime cameras, we further developed confocal MIET-PAINT, which leverages optical background rejection and high-efficiency SPAD detection. This modality achieves [~]12 nm lateral precision and resolves the 3D architecture of microtubules, vimentin, and actin with high fidelity. MIET-PAINT thus unites nanometer-scale axial accuracy with the multiplexing versatility of DNA-PAINT, establishing a powerful tool for quantitative 3D cell biology.
