The newly developed STED-RICS microscopy method records rapid movements of molecules in live samples. By combining raster image correlation spectroscopy (RICS) with STED fluorescence microscopy, researchers have opened up new applications in medical research, e.g. analyzing the dynamics of cell membranes at high protein concentrations.
