superresolution imaging
Taxonomy: Technique Branch / Method. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
Single-molecule imaging enables biophysical measurements devoid of ensemble averaging, gives enhanced spatial resolution beyond the diffraction limit, and permits superresolution reconstructions.
Usefulness & Problems
Why this is useful
Superresolution imaging reconstructs spatial organization at resolution beyond the diffraction limit. In this review it is used in live bacteria to examine localization behavior and protein superstructure.; superresolution reconstructions; enhanced spatial resolution beyond the diffraction limit; live bacterial protein localization and superstructure analysis
