Photoluminescence nanoscopy of barcode nanowires
(ϕ = 20 nm) with long photoluminescent segments. (a) Nanowires
imaged in confocal mode with an excitation wavelength of λ =
700 nm (b) The same nanowires imaged with GSD PL nanoscopy (excitation
power 5 mW, excitation wavelength λ = 700 nm). (c) Restored
image by subtraction of raw-data GSD image from its low-frequency
counterpart (not shown). (d,e) Reconstructed confocal (d) and GSD
(e) image by Wiener deconvolution algorithm with PSFs (insets) calculated
analytically. (f,g) PL intensity line profiles along (x) and across (y) a NW to compare confocal and GSD
images for (a,c) (top) and (d,e) (bottom), showing the resolution
improvement in GSD nanoscopy. All scale bars: 1 μm.
