Interview with Dr. Federico Benitez and Prof. Dr.phil.nat. Walter Senn (in german)

Cardiac ryanodine receptors (RyR2) are critical for heart contraction. Here, we use 3D MINFLUX microscopy to image receptor subunits and RyR2 orientation with nanometre resolution, thereby providing a molecular view of the organisation and clustering of these cardiac receptors.

MINFLUX is a powerful single-molecule approach capable of achieving high spatially isotropic resolution in three dimensions. Current implementations collect localizations strictly serially, but criteria for when to terminate acquisition are often unclear. Here we measure labelling efficiency and provide guidelines how to maximise marker detection and acquire high quality molecular resolution data of biological samples.
