SPAD array technology enables fluctuation-contrast super-resolution in a confocal microscope

A fluorescence correlation contrast is a straightforward approach to super-resolution imaging. Combining a SPAD array with a novel detection scheme (ISM), we obtain images with up to x4 times resolution enhancement.
