Saturated structured confocal microscopy with theoretically unlimited resolution
The resolution of fluorescence microscopes is limited by diffraction, which determines the extension of their point spread functions. We propose and study numerically a simple method, based on a combination of subtraction microscopy with regular and annular excitation beams, which permits to double the resolution compared to wide-field microscopy. When combined with the fluorescence saturation ...
متن کاملNonlinear structured-illumination microscopy: wide-field fluorescence imaging with theoretically unlimited resolution.
Contrary to the well known diffraction limit, the fluorescence microscope is in principle capable of unlimited resolution. The necessary elements are spatially structured illumination light and a nonlinear dependence of the fluorescence emission rate on the illumination intensity. As an example of this concept, this article experimentally demonstrates saturated structured-illumination microscop...
متن کاملLabel-Free Saturated Structured Excitation Microscopy
Microand nanoscale chemical and structural heterogeneities, whether they are intrinsic material properties like grain boundaries or intentionally encoded via nanoscale fabrication techniques, pose a challenge to current material characterization methods. To precisely interrogate the electronic structure of these complex materials systems, spectroscopic techniques with high spatial resolution ar...
متن کاملCombining Atomic Force Microscopy with Confocal Microscopy
Confocal fluorescence microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are two established techniques that can be used to study single molecules. Both techniques have their individual capabilities that permit to study different aspects such as topography using AFMs, or dynamics using fluorescence spectroscopy. Thus, a combination of both techniques into a single instrument enhances the methodology ...
متن کاملResolution doubling in fluorescence microscopy with confocal spinning-disk image scanning microscopy.
We demonstrate how a conventional confocal spinning-disk (CSD) microscope can be converted into a doubly resolving image scanning microscopy (ISM) system without changing any part of its optical or mechanical elements. Making use of the intrinsic properties of a CSD microscope, we illuminate stroboscopically, generating an array of excitation foci that are moved across the sample by varying the...
