FLIM

(Fluorescence Lifetime Microscopy Imaging): imaging of fluorescent molecule lifetimes.

PALM

(Photo-Activated Localization Microscopy): high-resolution microscopy using stochastic photo-activation of fluorophores and adjustment of point spread functions [37].

SIM

(Structured Illumination Microscopy): high-resolution light microscopy using structured patterns and interference analysis [40].

TIRF

(Total Internal Reflectance): 2D optical microscopy using evanescent waves and total reflectance [36].

Cryo-EM

(Cryo-Electron Tomography): 3D representation of sub-cellular and molecular objects of 5-20 nanometres, frozen at very low temperatures, from 2D projections using a transmission electron microscope.
