Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

14.6K
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...

Summary

We developed compressive spatial to spectral transformation microscopy (CSSTM) for far-field super-resolution imaging. This technique achieves sub-15 nm resolution by encoding spatial data into spectral measurements using metamaterials.
