Super-resolution imaging techniques that overcome the diffraction limit of light have gained
wide popularity for visualizing cellular structures with nanometric resolution. Following the …

Super-resolution microscopy (SRM) bypasses the diffraction limit, a physical barrier that
restricts the optical resolution to roughly 250 nm and was previously thought to be …

A main determinant of the spatial resolution of live-cell super-resolution (SR) microscopes is
the maximum photon flux that can be collected. To further increase the effective resolution …

Atherosclerotic plaques develop in the inner intimal layer of arteries and can cause heart
attacks and strokes. As plaques lack innervation, the effects of neuronal control on …

Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is one of the powerful super-resolution modalities
in bioscience with the advantages of full-field imaging and high photon efficiency. However …

As an indispensable complement to an integer vortex beam, the fractional vortex beam has
unique physical properties such as radially notched intensity distribution, complex phase …

Fluorescence nanoscopy uniquely combines minimally invasive optical access to the
internal nanoscale structure and dynamics of cells and tissues with molecular detection …

In this Primer, we focus on the most recent advancements in stimulated emission depletion
(STED) microscopy, encompassing optics, computational microscopy and probes design …

Many biological investigations require 3D imaging of cells or tissues with nanoscale spatial
resolution. We recently discovered that preserved biological specimens can be physically …

Metasurface is a recently developed nanophotonics concept to manipulate the properties of
light by replacing conventional bulky optical components with ultrathin (more than 104 times …
