It suffers, however, from high background and very slow imaging speed, both of which can be attributed to the presence of unbound fluorophores in solution. We present a fluorogenic DNA-PAINT probe that solves these problems and demonstrate 3D imaging without the need for optical sectioning and a 26-fold increase in imaging speed over regular DNA-PAINT.Competing Interest StatementJ.
