Application Challenges
Super-resolution techniques, such as STED, SIM, and PALM/STORM, surpass the diffraction limit of light, enabling researchers to resolve cellular structures and molecular distributions with nanometer-scale precision.
While these methods achieve unprecedented spatial resolution, they come at the cost of photon efficiency. Many techniques require acquisition of thousands of sequential frames—for example, single-molecule localization methods (PALM/STORM) reconstruct one high-resolution image from tens of thousands of localizations. Additionally, concentrating light into extremely small regions increases local energy density, heightening the risks of photobleaching and phototoxicity. These challenges impose stringent requirements on camera systems, demanding ultra-high sensitivity, exceptionally low noise, and high-speed imaging capabilities.
