diffraction-unlimited three-dimensional optical nanoscopy with opposing lenses
The resolution of far-field optical microscopy stagnated for a century, but a quest began in the 1990s leading to nanoscale imaging of transparent fluorescent objects in three dimensions. Important elements in this pursuit were the synthesis of the aperture of two opposing lenses and the modulation or switching of the fluorescence of adjacent markers. The first element provided nearly isotropic...
متن کاملDiffraction unlimited all-optical recording of electron spin resonances.
We show stimulated emission depletion microscopy to break the diffraction limit in the all-far-field-optical detection of magnetic fields and resonances. Electron spin resonances from single nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond located at subdiffraction proximities are fully discerned. Since diffraction is overcome by disallowing the signaling state through an optical transition such as stimulat...
متن کاملThree-dimensional nanoscopy of colloidal crystals.
We demonstrate the direct three-dimensional imaging of densely packed colloidal nanostructures using stimulated emission depletion microscopy. A combination of two de-excitation patterns yields a resolution of 43 nm in the lateral and 125 nm in the axial direction and an effective focal volume that is by 126-fold smaller than that of a corresponding confocal microscope. The mapping of a model s...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Diffraction Imaging
Microscopy has incited many of the greatest revolutions in scientific history. In particular, these inventions have sparked paradigm shifts in biology, and discoveries like the structure of DNA are indebted to such studies. The development of the field spans from recent work like scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy to the original optical microscope, which dates back hundre...
متن کاملComa aberrations in combined two- and three-dimensional STED nanoscopy
Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopes, like all super-resolution methods, are sensitive to aberrations. Of particular importance are aberrations that affect the quality of the depletion focus, which requires a point of near-zero intensity surrounded by strong illumination. We present analysis, modeling, and experimental measurements that show the effects of coma aberrations on deplet...
