A method and an apparatus for localization of single dye molecules in the fluorescent microscopy

摘要

The invention concerns a method and a corresponding apparatus for obtaining a sub-resolution spatial information of a sample labeled with at least one type fluorescent label, said sub-resolution spatial information comprising localization information about the positions of fluorescent molecules of the at least one type fluorescent label in at least one spatial direction. The method comprises: - acquiring localization image data by employing fluorescence localization microscopy, wherein said localization image data comprises a series of images obtained by - illuminating a region of interest of the sample with illumination light having intensity in the range of approximately 1 kW/cm
