Improved resolution in fluorescence microscopy using quantum correlations
Abstract
Breaking the diffraction limit in microscopy by utilizing the quantum properties of light has been the goal of intense research in recent years. We propose a super-resolution technique based on nonclassical emission statistics of fluorescent markers, routinely used as contrast labels for bioimaging. The technique can be readily implemented with current technology.
