A simple yet powerful super-resolution imaging approach based on switching off ordinary fluorophores and localizing those remaining or regaining fluorescence is illustrated using continuous widefield illumination and imaging of fixed and living cells labeled with rhodamine-derived dyes or fluorescent proteins. Biteen et al., also in this issue, describe related work using the ordinary fluorophore of EYFP for super-resolution imaging.
