Introduction to super-resolution microscopy
Masahito Yamanaka et al. Microscopy (Oxf). 2014 Jun.
Abstract
In this review, we introduce the principles of spatial resolution improvement in super-resolution microscopies that were recently developed. These super-resolution techniques utilize the interaction of light and fluorescent probes in order to break the diffraction barrier that limits spatial resolution. The imaging property of each super-resolution technique is also compared with the corresponding conventional one. Typical applications of the super-resolution techniques in biological research are also introduced.
