    Area of Science:

    • Biophysics
    • Optical Microscopy
    • Nanotechnology

    Background:

    • Super-resolution microscopy often lacks comparable axial and lateral resolution.
    • Existing 3D nanoscopy methods typically involve a trade-off between axial and lateral resolution.
    • 4Pi microscopy offers isotropic resolution but suffers from instrument complexity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a simplified 4Pi microscopy setup for isotropic super-resolution.
    • To combine 4Pi and STED (Stimulated Emission Depletion) microscopy for enhanced imaging.
    • To overcome the alignment challenges of traditional 4Pi arrangements.

    Main Methods:

    • Integration of STED and excitation beams for intrinsic co-alignment.
    • Development of a robust and user-friendly 4Pi cavity.
    • Implementation of the isoSTED nanoscope for 3D super-resolution imaging.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved intrinsically co-aligned STED and excitation beams.
    • Demonstrated a robust 4Pi cavity requiring no readjustments during imaging.
    • Enabled easier handling and dissemination of 4Pi-based super-resolution techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • The isoSTED nanoscope simplifies 4Pi microscopy for isotropic super-resolution.
    • This approach facilitates wider adoption of high-resolution 3D imaging techniques.
    • The setup offers a practical solution for achieving comparable axial and lateral resolution.
