Abstract

Systems and methods that enhance the resolution of a microscope in all three spatial dimensions. A microscope system is provided that typically includes a first objective lens (), an illumination source that provides excitation illumination (λex) at a first wavelength through the objective lens () in a first direction onto a fluorescent sample so as to induce fluorescent emission in the sample at a second wavelength (λfl) different than the first wavelength. The system also typically includes an element () that provides illumination at the second wavelength (λfl) to the sample in a second direction different from the first direction, and a detector () for detecting the fluorescent emission. The optical gain of the fluorescent emission at the second wavelength is enhanced through stimulated emission.
