Abstract
The present invention is a method for spatially highly accurate location determination of individual dye molecules of a fluorescent dye by scanning with an intensity distribution of a scanning light having a local minimum. The invention is characterized by the fact that the scanning is not performed uniformly for all dye molecules, but is individually adapted to the dye molecule to be scanned and, if necessary, to its environment in the sample, in order to achieve the most accurate location determination possible with the smallest possible number of fluorescence photons.
