We have developed a multi-dimensional super-resolution (md-SR) imaging technique to determine both the localization and the environmental properties of single-molecule fluorescent emitters. The method, termed sPAINT, exploits the solvatochromic and fluorogenic properties of nile red to extract both the emission spectrum and the position of each dye molecule to enable the mapping of hydrophobicity of biological structures. We first validated the sPAINT method by studying synthetic lipid vesicles of known composition, then applied it to measure the hydrophobicity of amyloid fibrils and oligomers implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, and of the plasma membrane of mammalian cells. sPAINT is easily implemented by inserting a transmission diffraction grating into the optical path of a localization-based super-resolution microscope, which enables all the necessary information to be extracted simultaneously from a single image plane. sPAINT enables the hydrophobicity of surfaces to be mapped at the nanoscale in a dynamic fashion.
