Random Illumination Microscopy – Toulouse, France

System description & applications

Random Illumination Microscopy is a new and promising super-resolution technique for live cell imaging.

Random Illumination Microscopy is an innovative SIM-based super-resolution technique for live cell imaging. RIM exploits speckled illuminations and statistical reconstruction to provide super-resolved images down to 90nm. Its high temporal resolution and low phototoxicity make it the ideal solution for live  cell imaging.

RIM is also a robust and low-cost technique thanks to its simplicity.
