Single molecule localisation microscopy (SMLM) has opened a new window for imaging fluorescently labelled biological specimens. Common 3D SMLM techniques enable data collection across an axial range of 1 − 5µm with high precision. Despite the success of 3D single molecule imaging there is a real need to image larger volumes. Here we demonstrate, through simulation and experiment, the potential of Single Molecule Light Field Microscopy (SMLFM) for extended depthof-field super-resolution imaging, extracting 3D point source position by measuring the disparity between localizations of a point emitter in multiple perspective views.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
