Wide-Field Super-Resolution Optical Fluctuation Imaging through Dynamic Near-Field Speckle Illumination.

ABSTRACT: Stochastic optical fluctuation imaging (SOFI) generates super-resolution fluorescence images by emphasizing the positions of fluorescent emitters via statistical analysis of their on-and-off blinking dynamics. In SOFI with speckle illumination (S-SOFI), the diffraction-limited grain size of the far-field speckles prevents independent blinking of closely located emitters, becoming a hurdle to realize the full super-resolution granted by SOFI processing. Here, we present a surface-sensitive super-resolution technique exploiting dynamic near-field speckle illumination to bring forth the full super-resolving power of SOFI without blinking fluorophores. With our near-field S-SOFI technique, up to 2.8- and 2.3-fold enhancements in lateral spatial resolution are demonstrated with computational an
