Smalltalks "A journey beyond limits: molecular engineering towards increased spatial resolution"

Abstract: 

It comes with no doubts that light is essential, as it provides access to the majority of the findings that eventually build our knowledge. Among the wide variety of applications where this statement applies, this talk will focus on the biological field: the non-invasive nature of light in combination with fluorescent molecular tools constitutes a valuable means to study, for instances, the development of complex biological processes. Although an improved resolution translates into better observations and more accurate conclusions, this requires in most of the cases of changes in the detection technique and/or the instrument. Is there a way to overcome this limitation while using the same technique and/or instrument? "If you cannot change the engine, try changing the fuel."
