Accurate multidimensional localization of isolated fluorescent emitters is a time
consuming process in single-molecule based super-resolution microscopy. We
demonstrate a functional method for real-time reconstruction with automatic
feedback control, without compromising the localization accuracy. Compatible with
high frame rates of EM-CCD cameras, it relies on a wavelet segmentation
algorithm, together with a mix of CPU/GPU implementation. A combination with
Gaussian fitting allows direct access to 3D localization. Automatic feedback
control ensures optimal molecule density throughout the acquisition process. With
this method, we significantly improve the efficiency and feasibility of
localization-based super-resolution microscopy.
