Extended Data Fig. 9: Resolution characterization for LLSM, Meta-LLS-VSIM, and Meta-rLLS-VSIM.

a–c, LLSM (a), Meta-LLS-VSIM (b), and Meta-rLLS-VSIM (c) images (MIP) of beads shown in the x-y and x-z plane and corresponding line profiles indicated by yellow arrows in both lateral (n = 12) and axial (n = 9). The FWHM measured from the averaged profiles indicates that the resolution of Meta-rLLS-VSIM reaches 119 nm in lateral and 157 nm in axial. Central points, mean; whiskers, minimum and maximum. Scale bar, 1 μm.
