Abstract

A fluorescence microscope for obtaining super-resolution images of a sample labeled with at least one fluorescent label by combining localization microscopy and structured illumination microscopy is provided. The fluorescence microscope includes one or more light sources, an illumination system having a structured illumination path for illuminating the sample with structured illumination light and a localization illumination path for illuminating the sample with localization illumination light.
