AbstractSingle-molecule localization microscopy enables far-field imaging with lateral resolution in the range of 10 to 20 nanometres, exploiting the fact that the centre position of a single-molecule’s image can be determined with much higher accuracy than the size of that image itself. However, attaining the same level of resolution in the axial (third) dimension remains challenging. Here, we present Supercritical Illumination Microscopy Photometric z-Localization with Enhanced Resolution (SIMPLER), a photometric method to decode the axial position of single molecules in a total internal reflection fluorescence microscope. SIMPLER requires no hardware modification whatsoever to a conventional total internal reflection fluorescence microscope and complements any 2D single-molecule localization microscopy method to deliver 3D images with nearly isotropic nanometric resolution. Performance examples include SIMPLER-direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy images of the nuclear pore complex with sub-20 nm axial localization precision and visualization of microtubule cross-sections through SIMPLER-DNA points accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography with sub-10 nm axial localization precision.

The ability to observe the fluorescence arising from single molecules has revolutionized our ability to study the structure and dynamics of materials on a microscopic level and to probe the properties of individual members of a heterogeneous ensemble. A variety of near-field and far-field excitation techniques have been employed to study single molecules. Multiphoton excitation (MPE) techniques have a number of advantages that make them particularly attractive for singlemolecule detection. First, because the excitation and fluorescence wavelengths are significantly different from one another, Rayleigh and Raman scattering can easily be filtered out, leading to a low number of background counts. Second, because the probability for MPE depends on the excitation intensity to the second or higher power, the excitation is localized to the point in space where the excitation beam is most tightly focussed, thus providing three-dimensional resolution.
