Flat-top TIRF illumination boosts DNA-PAINT imaging and quantification

The use of TIRF microscopy for DNA-PAINT experiments is limited by inhomogeneous illumination. Here the authors show that quantitative analysis of single-molecule TIRF experiments can be improved by using a segment-wise analysis approach and overcome by using a beam-shaping device to give a flat-top...
