What are the advantages of super resolution microscopy?

Posted December 7, 2023


Answer

One advantage of super resolution microscopy is that it offers improved resolution capabilities, and allows the imaging of structures smaller than 200 nanometers. Another advantage is that it offers in depth visualization to observe subcellular structures at the nanoscale level. In addition to the sample’s surface, researchers can observe up to 100 micrometers deep within the specimen. This technology allows for capturing detailed 3D images (in time-lapse imaging) due to high temporal resolutions. The easy operation of the technique. Certain super-resolution microscopy techniques integrate inherent optical sectioning with rapid data collection and dual-color super-resolution to generate high-quality images promptly for analysis.
