“…In short, a periodic illumination pattern results in heterodyne detection of high frequency information that would otherwise be lost. Images are acquired for multiple pattern orientations and phases and computationally recombined as a superresolution image [Gustafsson et al, 2008; Shroff et al, 2009; Wicker et al, 2013]. 3D‐SIM has revealed the subcellular localization of key proteins in cells [Sonnen et al, 2012; Strauss et al, 2012], the fine details of nuclear envelope [Schermelleh et al, 2008], chromosome structure [Carlton, 2008; Flors and Earnshaw, 2011; Green et al, 2011], or even the specialized cellular structure such as endothelial cell fenestrations [Cogger et al, 2010] and the cytokinetic Z ring in live bacteria [Turnbull et al, 2014].…”
