In1873, ErnstAbbe discovered thattheresolution offocusing ('far-field')optical microscopy is limitedto -200nm which has been thepracticalresolution limitever since. Inthislecture Idiscuss conceptsthat,byestablishing certain molecular states insub-diffraction regions, neutralize theresolution-limitingrole ofdiffraction influorescence microscopy.The firstviable concept ofthiskind, Stimulated EmissionDepletion(STED) microscopy [1], establishes afluorescent molecular state in a nano-sized area usingafocal intensity distribution featuring azero. The doughnut confines thefluorescent statenear itscentral zero insuch a way thattheeffective fluorescence spot(pointspread function) can bearbitrarilyreduced insize [1-4].The concept underlyingSTED microscopy can beexpanded byemployingothermolecular transitions thatswitch fluorescence emission: (i) shelving thefluorophore ina metastabletripletstate [3,5], and(ii) photo-switching optically bistable markers between a 'fluorescenceon'anda 'fluorescenceoff' conformationalstate[2]. Examples forthe latterinclude photo-switchableorganic compounds and fluorescent proteins,whichundergo a photo-induced cis-trans isomerizationorcyclization reaction. Due to theiroptical bistability, thediffraction barriercan bebroken at lowintensityvalues. Byproviding appropriatebistable molecular markers, organic chemistry andproteinbiotechnology playa key role inovercoming thediffraction barrier [2] . Hnally.ldiscuss recent workshowing that far-field 'nanoscopy' solves fundamental problems inbiology [7].

STED microscopy
-
Resolution is not limited by the wavelength of light!
- Resolution just depends on the level of fluorescence depletion.
- Resolution at the molecular scale
is possible with visible light and regular lenses!
- Resolution follows a new law; a modification of Abbe’s law:
