In a recent publication we show that pointwise localization precision can be accurately estimated directly from imaging data using the Bayesian posterior density constrained by simple microscope properties.

But do not worry! The latest addition to the Elfware family will not hiss in your ears when you sleep. Not unless you have a bias in your image analysis, that is ;)

Anel Mahmutovic defends his thesis entiteled Reaction diffusion kinetics of protein DNA interactions

How fast is the sliding? Is it smooth or does it include frequent microscopic jumps (hopping)? What is the influence of multiple DNA binding domains allowing the TF to transfer between DNA strands and what is the effect of molecular crowding?

Johan Elf discusses the Noble Prize on Swedish television

Mats Walldén defends his PhD thesis entiteled 'How precise is cyclic life?'

The Nobel Prize in chemistry 2014 has brought a lot of attention to the application of super resolution microscopy.

What is the importance of super resolved fluorescence microscopy for the research in the Elflab and for our society in general, what are the life-stories of the Nobel laureates and what is the next challenge for life science microscopy?

We almost take it for granted, the fact that we can peer into the nano-world and study the life and beauty of individual molecules as they go about their business in the crowded interior of the biological cell. Not so long ago this was impossible... theoretically.
