Super-resolution techniques overcome the diffraction-limit and get very high resolutions. A category of these techniques, e.g., STED achieves this by creating an illumination spot smaller than the Airy Disk. As a result, points are…

The resolution of far-field optical microscopes, which rely on propagating optical modes, is widely believed to be limited because of diffraction to a value on the order of a half-wavelength $\lambda /2$ of the light used. Although…
