Images of microtubules in cells. (a) A conventional indirect immunofluorescence image. (b) The 3D STORM image of the same area with the depth information color-coded. (c) Confocal image. (d) The BaLM image of the same area. On comparison, it is apparent that stochastic readout microscopy can significantly enhance the resolution in both lateral and axial directions.
