Superresolution Microscopy

Superresolution microscopy are advanced imaging techniques that allow scientists to see structures smaller than the traditional limit of light microscopes, which is about 200 nanometers. By using special methods to manipulate or analyze light, these techniques can achieve resolutions down to a few nanometers. This allows researchers to observe detailed cellular components, proteins, and molecules in living cells with unprecedented clarity, helping to better understand biological processes and develop new medical treatments. In essence, superresolution microscopy unlocks a hidden world at the molecular level that was previously invisible with standard microscopes.
