Super-resolution microscopy is a form of light microscopy. Due to the diffraction of light, the resolution of conventional light microscopy is limited as stated by Ernst Abbe in 1873. ... Super-resolution techniques allow the capture of images with a higher resolution than the diffraction limit. 4, record 1, English, - optical%20nanoscopy

Resolution in optical nanoscopy (or super-resolution microscopy) depends on the localization uncertainty and density of single fluorescent labels and on the sample's spatial structure. 1, record 1, English, - optical%20nanoscopy

L'objectif final [est] l'étude de l'architecture et des dynamiques sous-cellulaires. Toutefois, les structures d'intérêt sont bien trop petites pour être résolues à l'aide de la microscopie de fluorescence habituelle. De nombreuses approches pour surpasser cette limite ont été développées ces dix dernières années et une microscopie à super-résolution s'est avérée un outil particulièrement remarquable, et pas uniquement dans la recherche des sciences de la vie. 2, record 1, French, - nanoscopie%20optique
