Advanced imaging techniques have evolved to see beyond the diffraction limit. W. E. Moerner spoke to Nature Photonics about the techniques involved. For near-field optics, super-resolution has ...

Tenfold improvement of lateral resolution up to 20nm: N-STORM utilizes high accuracy localization information for thousands of individual fluorophores present in a field of view to create breathtaking ...

Inspired by a super-resolution microscopy technique known as STED, we are showing that it is indeed possible to write features whose dimensions are substantially smaller than the diffraction limit.
