3D Localization Microscopy With Ground State Depletion (GSD 3D)
Basic Principles of the GSD Super-Resolution Technology for Displaying Highly Resolved Cellular Structures in Three Dimensions • The exact position of a fluorochrome is based on the principle of temporal separation; • This requires switching of fluorochromesbetween on and off states followed by a sequential readout;
