“…Various optical techniques have been developed to improve the spatial resolution beyond the diffraction limit (1)(2)(3) and to study, e.g., protein folding and adhesion complexes in living cells (4,5). Though powerful, most optical methods rely on molecular components that emit light (fluoresce) and the spatial resolution cannot yet rival that of electron-based techniques that allow focusing down to the atomic scale (6).…”

“…The first single-molecule optical detection experiment was achieved by absorption using a doublemodulation technique, but had to be carried out at cryogenic conditions, under which the absorption cross-section of the zero-phonon line is 10 6 times larger. 21 Indirect detection schemes combined with modulation techniques have been developed for absorption-based detection, [22][23][24][25] 4 including ground-state depletion microscopy 15,26 and photothermal microscopy. 11,13,14,16,[27][28][29][30] However, most studies using these methods have reported single-wavelength imaging without yielding spectroscopic information.…”

“…STED competes effectively with this nonradioactive decay, providing a new contrast mechanism which has been investigated in the vascular network of a nude mouse ear [241]. In addition, STED has been implemented in nanofluidic studies [242,243] with reported spatial resolutions better than 70 nm; and in protein flow cytometry research [244].…”
