The abstract contrasts SIM with STED, GSD, RESOLFT, PALM, STORM, and SSIM.
Compared with single molecule localization microscopy
The supplied summary places SIM alongside STED, PALM, STORM, SMLM, MINFLUX, and RESOLFT.; The abstract contrasts SIM with electron microscopy as the historical method and with SMLM approaches such as dSTORM for fixed-cell imaging.
Shared frame: source-stated alternative in extracted literature
Strengths here: identified as a central comparison point in the review context; works in fixed and living cells; uses wet samples.
