The resolution enhancement is essentially based on switching off the fluorescence of dye molecules by stimulated emission using intense laser light in the outer regions of the diffraction limited excitation focus. ... Fluorescence from the remaining excited dye molecules in the center of the excitation focus is then detected and used to form the high resolution images. 2, record 2, English, - stimulated%20emission%20depletion%20microscopy

La microscopie STED (stimulated-emission-depletion ou déplétion par émission stimulée) est une microscopie de fluorescence à balayage dont l'illumination est mise en forme pour dépasser la limite de résolution imposée par la diffraction. Cette limite est dépassée en utilisant l'émission stimulée pour éliminer la fluorescence dans les régions extérieures de la réponse impulsionnelle optique d'excitation. La largeur de la zone centrale pouvant encore émettre de la lumière est ajustée grâce à la saturation de la fluorescence. Cette technique permet d'atteindre une résolution de 2,4 nm [nanomètres] en champ lointain. 3, record 2, French, - microscopie%20de%20fluorescence%20%C3%A0%20d%C3%A9pl%C3%A9tion%20par%20%C3%A9mission%20stimul%C3%A9e

Microscopie par fluorescence : Il existe plusieurs types d'objets microscopiques présentant un effet de fluorescence soit par eux-mêmes, soit par imprégnation d'une substance convenable (fluorochrome). Si l'on dispose d'une source de rayons ultraviolets, violets ou même bleus, la préparation ainsi éclairée émet des radiations visibles qui permettent son examen à travers un objectif et un oculaire ordinaires. 1, record 4, French, - microscopie%20par%20fluorescence
