FIGURE 1. The spectral demixing principle shows normalized spectra of two typical red dyes, AF647 and CF680, with the long-pass dichroic filter at 700 nm to separate the two emission (a); an example of PSF recordings on Cam1 and Cam2 (b, top), zoom-in (b, middle), and 2D Gaussian PSF representation to evaluate center position and photon counting (b, bottom); photon ratio distribution and an example of ranges chosen for ƛ assignment (c); an optical pathway adopted for the spectral separation, with a first dichroic separate excitation from emission—the emission light is then split with a second long-pass dichroic into the two cameras (d); and an example of image reconstruction of a Cos7 cell labeled for tubulin AF647 and Clathrin CF680 (e).

Here, in detail, are the lasers that can be used for Raman spectroscopy and why.

An example of an image taken in a single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) setup from the Department of Biotechnology & Biophysics at Julius-Maximilian-University of Würzburg; the three-color image is a BPAE cell with mitotracker (red), actin (cyan), and nucleus (DAPI; blue) staining (recording time: 4 s per channel, with 2048 × 2048 pixel image detail).
