Abstract
Super-resolution correlative light and electron microscopy (SR-CLEM) is a powerful approach for imaging specific molecules at the nanoscale in the context of the cellular ultrastructure. Epon epoxy resin embedding offers advantages for SR-CLEM, including ultrastructural preservation and high quality sectioning. However, Epon embedding eliminates fluorescence from most fluorescent proteins. We describe a photocontrollable fluorescent protein, mEosEM, that can survive Epon embedding after osmium tetroxide (OsO4) treatment for improved SR-CLEM.
