Major Functions / Key Features

Super-resolution microscopy overcomes the diffraction limit of conventional light microscopy and allows scientists to observe and study subcellular or even molecular processes in greater detail. The Nikon N-SIM/N-STORM/A1 system also allows researchers to perform correlative confocal-super-resolution imaging.

Structured illumination microscopy (SIM), the structured illumination is able to produce images that carry high frequency information that lies beyond the diffraction limit.
Stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) is a widely-used single-molecule localisation microscopy technique.
