Abstract
We demonstrate a new method for obtaining sub-diffraction resolution in fluorescence microscopy. The technique involves the analysis of the time evolution of fluorescence images in the presence of weak and unstructured (fundamental Gaussian) continuous wave stimulated emission depletion. A reduced point spread functions (PSF) is obtained by the recombination of time segments of the evolving image. A significant reduction in the PSF for 20 nm fluorescent beads (ca. 240 nm to 125 nm) is obtained with an on-sample power of 7.5 mW (17 MW/cm2) - substantially lower than that required for spatially structured stimulated emission depletion microscopy.
