Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy01:37

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been developed.

Summary

Detailed analysis of atomic resolution scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM)-electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) reveals plasmon-loss images resemble high-angle bright-field STEM images with reverse contrast. This study proposes a new simulation method for understanding these images.
