SIM offers several advantages in the field of nanotechnology:
Enhanced resolution: As mentioned, SIM can achieve a resolution twice that of conventional microscopy, making it invaluable for studying nanoscale structures. Live-cell imaging: SIM's relatively low phototoxicity and photobleaching compared to other super-resolution techniques make it suitable for imaging live cells. Multiplexing: SIM can be used in combination with other imaging techniques, such as fluorescence microscopy, to gather more comprehensive data about a sample.
