a

Single-molecule localization precisions listed here were obtained with the 1024PCI-CMOS sensor, which was used in most of the experiments in the present research.

b

Attached to the end of a short DNA duplex and immobilized on the glass surface.

c

Covalently linked to the glass surface. In the basal PM, Cy3-DOPE observed under the same TIR illumination conditions at 79 µW/µm2 with the camera operated at 10 and 30 kHz, the single-molecule localization precisions were 34 ± 5.1 and 51 ± 10 nm, respectively (Fig. S4 A). Compare these values with the data of Cy3 on the glass shown here (20 and 34 nm, respectively).

d

Conjugated to MukB-Halo and observed in fixed E. coli.

e

Covalently linked to the glass surface. When our standard laser illumination conditions (oblique illumination at a power density of 23 µW/µm2 at the sample plane) were employed to observe Cy3-DOPE in the apical PM, with the camera operated at 10 kHz, the single-molecule localization precision was 49 ± 2.1 nm (Fig. S4 B, top). Compare this value with the data of Cy3 on the glass shown here (38 nm).

f

Single transferrin (Tf) molecules bound by an average of 5.0 Cy3 molecules, immobilized on the glass surface.

g

From this row to the bottom row, single-molecule localization precisions applicable for PALM and STORM experiments are listed, so under these observation conditions, most single molecules are photobleached within one or a few frames.

h

Fused to clathrin light chain and observed in live BS-C-1 cells.

i

Estimated from the reported FWHM value.

j

Fused to clathrin light chain and observed in live HeLa cells.

k

Fused to caveolin-1 and observed in live T24 cells.

l

Conjugated to in vitro-prepared microtubules and immobilized on the glass surface.

m

Covalently linked to antibodies and immobilized on the glass surface.
