Abstract

The invention relates to a method for localizing an emitter (F) in a sample (S) comprising illuminating the sample (S) with a stationary donut-shaped excitation beam (E), acquiring fluorescence photons; and estimating a position of the emitter (F) in the sample (S) from the acquired fluorescence photons. The invention further relates to an apparatus (1) for localizing an emitter (F) in a sample (S) comprising illumination means (10), acquisition means (20) and processing means (30) and a computer program comprising instruction to cause the apparatus (1) to execute the method for localizing an emitter (F).
