Subdiffraction resolution in far-field fluorescence microscopy.
We overcame the resolution limit of scanning far-field fluorescence microscopy by disabling the fluorescence from the outer part of the focal spot. Whereas a near-UV pulse generates a diffraction-limited distribution of excited molecules, a spatially offset pulse quenches the excited molecules from the outer part of the focus through stimulated emission. This results in a subdiffraction-sized e...
متن کاملNovel approach for label free super-resolution imaging in far field
Progress in the emerging areas of science and technology, such as bio- and nano-technologies, depends on development of corresponding techniques for imaging and probing the structures with high resolution. Recently, the far field diffraction resolution limit in the optical range has been circumvented and different methods of super-resolution optical microscopy have been developed. The importanc...
متن کاملCoherent total internal reflection dark-field microscopy: label-free imaging beyond the diffraction limit.
Coherent imaging is barely applicable in life-science microscopy due to multiple interference artifacts. Here, we show how these interferences can be used to improve image resolution and contrast. We present a dark-field microscopy technique with evanescent illumination via total internal reflection that delivers high-contrast images of coherently scattering samples. By incoherent averaging of ...
متن کاملMaximizing far-field optical microscopy resolution through selected fluorophore transitions
Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy and related nanoscopy techniques, which utilize a saturable optical transition between a bright and a dark state, overcome the diffraction barrier by confining one of the states to an area smaller than the Airy disk. Scanning this area across the specimen yields subdiffraction images by registering inseparable fluorescent markers sequentially in t...
متن کاملFar-field diffraction microscopy at λ/10 resolution
Tomographic diffraction microscopy is a three-dimensional quantitative optical imaging technique in which the sample is numerically reconstructed from tens of holograms recorded under different angles of incidence. We show that combining the measurement of the amplitude, the phase, and the polarization of the field scattered by the sample with an approximate knowledge of the sample permittivity...
