BRAINCAKESuper Resolved Fluorescence Microscopy
Super resolved fluorescence microscopy can achieve a resolution of 0.2μm using visible light.
There are two different types. One combines many very small images to produce a larger image and the other superimposes many images with normal resolution to produce a high resolution image.
The first type uses the technique of stimulated emission depletion.
