Description

The development of superresolution microscopy (nanoscopy) has opened the way for studying biological processes at the nanocale. I will discuss how several tools of fluorescence spectroscopy (e.g. lifetime detection and analysis, correlation spectroscopy) can be exploited to make microscopy and nanoscopy more efficient, versatile and quantitative. As an example, I will discuss application of nanoscopy to the investigation of chromatin alterations in a model of oncogene activation.
