Two-Photon MINFLUX Pushes the Boundaries of Achievable Resolution in Optical Nanoscopes

While many researchers use optical nanoscopes for their research, they are currently limited in their resolution due to how light diffracts. While techniques have been developed to combat this, there are still improvements. One research team in Beijing believes that multi-photon microscopy is the answer.
