A high-density 3D localization algorithm for stochastic optical reconstruction microscopyAbstract: In this work, we present a method to analyze high-density super-resolution data in three dimensions, where the images of individual fluorophores not only overlap, but also have varying PSFs that depend on the z positions of the fluorophores.This approach accurately analyzed data sets with an emitter density five times higher than previously possible with sparse emitter analysis algorithms. We applied this algorithm to the analysis of data sets taken from membrane-labeled retina and brain tissues which contain a high-density of labels, and obtained substantially improved super-resolution image quality.
