Fibrillar actin is one of the major structural components in cells. Thus, its organization has been studied extensively. Nevertheless there are still open questions, in particular, related to pathogenic infections. We examine the potential contributions of two complementary recently developed imaging methods for increasing our understanding on local F-actin: IR spectroscopic photo-induced force microscopy (PiF-IR) and 2D polarization resolved fluorescence microscopy imaging (2DPOLIM). PiF-IR provides local chemical information at high spatial resolution below 10 nm. 2DPOLIM allows to study the local aggregation of fluorescence labeled F-actin via Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) in the range of 2-10 nm [1]. -- Funding by DAAD-GSSP, DFG-Ta1049/2 -- [1] R.
