Abstract Quantum super-resolution imaging provides a nonlabeling method to surpass the diffraction limit of systems. This technique relies on measurement second-order correlation function and usually employs spatially entangled photon sources. We introduce recent methods that achieve spatial resolution enhancement through quantum approaches, particularly techniques utilizing biphoton states. The fundamental mechanisms are discussed in detail explain why states enable super-resolution. Additionally, we multiple algorithms extract from readings two-dimensional detectors. Several cases reviewed evaluate advantages prospects imaging, along with discussion practical developments potential applications.

ABSTRACT MINFLUX nanoscopy relies on the localization of single fluorophores with expected ~ 2 nm precision in 3D mapping, roughly one order magnitude better than standard stimulated emission depletion microscopy or stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy. This “brilliant” technique takes advantage specialized principles and algorithms that require only dim fluorescence signals a minimum flux photons; hence name follows. With this level performance, imaging tracking should allow for routine study biological processes down to molecular scale, revealing previously unresolved details cell structures, such as organization calcium channels muscle cells clustering receptors synapses. Whereas high is definitely strength technique, limitations challenges also exist, especially labeling procedures aiming at appropriate density on/off switching kinetics. primer presents some significant results achieved so far highlights specific operational crucial technique.

Abstract Fluorescent probes enable the visualization of dynamic cellular processes with high precision, particularly when coupled super-resolution imaging techniques that surpass diffraction limit. Traditional methods include fluorescent protein fusion (e.g., GFP) or organic fluorophores linked to ligands targeting interest. However, these approaches often introduce functional disruptions ligand-associated biological effects. Herein, we address challenges by developing covalent for endogenous tubulin, a critical cytoskeletal involved in such as cell movement, division, and biomolecule trafficking. Using well-known tubulin binder cabazitaxel permeable fluorophore silicon-rhodamine basis, novel biocompatible cleavable linker containing sulfonium center. This allowed construction optimized probe, 6-SiR-o-C9-CTX, demonstrating excellent permeability, fluorogenic properties, ability covalently label across various human lines. Importantly, moiety could be washed out while preserving staining, ensuring minimal disruption function. labeling technique is compatible STED nanoscopy both live fixed cells, offering powerful high-resolution tool.

High-order harmonic generation is a cornerstone of attosecond science, with applications spanning from spectroscopy to the creation ultrashort light pulses temporal duration falling in regime. In addition, beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) allow studies light–matter interactions mediated by OAM couplings. this work, we present an alternative approach generating high-order vortices using elegant Laguerre–Gaussian (eLG) beams. We examine spatiotemporal characteristics these far-field regime and demonstrate how low divergence eLG makes them suitable for producing extreme ultraviolet (XUV) twisted pulses. Additionally, solving Fraunhofer integral, analyze influence azimuthal radial indices on spatial profile vortex beams, thereby exploring impact larger topological charges. This study extends concept generated beyond paraxial approximation.
