Sumario:This thesis introduces SIMPLE (Structured Illumination based Point Lo- calization Estimator), a novel super-resolution technique in fluorescence microscopy. By combining standing-wave patterned illumination with single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), SIMPLE achieves sig- nificant improvements in localization precision. Experimental results demonstrate a 2-fold enhancement in localization precision over a 400 μm2 field of view, validating the practical effectiveness of SIMPLE. Additionally, this thesis presents meLM (Modulation-Enhanced Lo- calization Microscopy) as a broader concept that encompasses techniques like MINFLUX, SIMPLE, and others. The simulations conducted in this study confirm the theoretical predictions of SIMPLE’s improved local- ization precision throughout the field of view. Furthermore, the thesis proposes an extension of SIMPLE for direct size measurement of sparse nano-structures, which has the potential to overcome limitations imposed by SMLM. Although actual size measure- ments have not been performed, this proposal highlights the promising application of SIMPLE in nano-structure sizing experiments. In summary, SIMPLE demonstrates the power of patterned illumi- nation in advancing super-resolution imaging. The thesis establishes SIMPLE as a key technique within the broader framework of meLM, and suggests its potential for precise nano-sizing experiments.
