Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of super-resolution imaging, in particular to a super-resolution imaging method based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET, Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer). Background technique
[0002] Many important research achievements in modern life science rely on the progress of microscopic imaging technology. However, it has been believed for a long time that the limit resolution that optical microscopy can achieve is about 200 nanometers, which is half the wavelength of light. Until the early 1990s, with the emergence of a series of new technologies in the field of optics, the optical diffraction limit was broken and the resolution of optical microscopes was increased to tens of nanometers.
[0003] The basis of super-resolution imaging technology mainly relies on various nonlinear optical effects. In 1991, a research group at Cornell University realized the multiphoton fluorescence imaging tech...
