Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) uses activatable or switchable fluorophores to create non-diffraction limited maps of molecular location in biological samples. Despite the utility of this imaging technique, the portfolio of appropriate labels for SMLM remains limited. Here, we describe a general strategy for the construction of "glitter bomb" labels by simply combining rhodamine and coumarin dyes though an amide bond. Condensation of the ortho-carboxyl group on the pendant phenyl ring of rhodamine dyes with a 7-aminocoumarin yields photochromic or spontaneously blinking fluorophores depending on the parent rhodamine structure. We apply this strategy to prepare labels useful super-resolution experiments in fixed cells using different attachment techniques. This general glitter bomb strategy should lead to improved labels for SMLM, ultimately enabling the creation of detailed molecular maps in biological samples.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
