- LLSM
(Lattice Light Sheet Microscopy): high resolution Structured Illumination Microscopy that uses Light Sheet Bessel Beam illumination [47].
- TIRF
(Total Internal Reflectance): 2D optical microscopy using evanescent waves and total reflectance [45].
- STORM
(Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy): high-resolution microscopy using stochastic photo-activation of fluorophores and adjustment of point spread functions.
- PALM
(Photo-Activated Localization Microscopy): high-resolution microscopy using stochastic photo-activation of fluorophores and adjustment of point spread functions [46].
- Cryo-ET
(Cryo-Electron Tomography): 3D representation of sub-cellular and molecular objects of 5-20 nanometers, frozen at very low temperatures, from 2D projections using a transmission electron microscope.
