What is a common acronym for a process Moerner uses in his research?
DNA
LED
OLED
STED microscopy
Answer
STED microscopy, short for Stimulated Emission Depletion microscopy, is a super-resolution imaging technique developed by Stefan W. Hell and his research team. It overcomes the diffraction limit of conventional microscopy by using a doughnut-shaped beam to selectively deplete fluorophores in the periphery of the focal spot, thus improving resolution beyond the Abbe diffraction barrier.
