Mitochondrial dynamics quantitatively revealed by STED nanoscopy with an enhanced squaraine variant probe

Live cell imaging of mitochondrial cristae is challenged by the unsuitability of current fluorescent probes and high phototoxicity. Here the authors develop a squarine variant probe (MitoESq-635) that is capable of longitudinal imaging of cristae with STED with minimal phototoxicity.
