The achievable resolution limit of fluorescence microscopy
The system's most essential feature is a microscope's ability to distinguish between two closely spaced points — its resolution.
But noise can reduce that resolution.
Fang Huang, Purdue Institute for Cancer Research member and Reilly Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering in Purdue Engineering, and the team are the first to develop a theoretical approach that accounts for the impact of noise. Learn more about "The achievable resolution limit of fluorescence microscopy" and its impact.
