Abstract
Adaptive optics (AO) is used to correct aberrations when focussing deep into specimens and is particularly important in super-resolution nanoscopy methods, which are particularly sensitive. Novel AO methods have been developed to deal with the particular challenges posed by super-resolution microscopes. We show how various three-dimensional nanoscopy applications can be facilitated using AO. Specifically, this includes whole cell and tissue imaging using a 4Pi single molecule localisation microscope, which uses dual opposing objective lenses and two deformable mirrors for improved z resolution; structured illumination microscopy, with adaptive illumination and aberration correction; and STED-fluorescence correlation spectroscopy in living cells.
