Abstract
DNA-origami nanostructures have shown promising applications in single molecule localization microscopy. They have become a reference standard for benchmarking and for developing new techniques for nanoscopy. Here, we present a pipeline for quantifying the quality of these nano-structures when imaging multiple instances of them using DNA-PAINT technique. We show on several experimental datasets that these structures can have deformations and that the designed binding sites are not equally accessible for the labelled imager strands during the image acquisition process. These limitations result in non-uniform activation of the sites over the origami pattern when fusing the instances into a single reconstruction.
