Super-Resolution Microscope
Super-resolution microscopy is a form of light microscopy. Due to the diffraction of light, the resolution of conventional light microscopy is limited, as stated by Ernst Abbe in 1873.[1] A good approximation of the resolution attainable is the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the point spread function, and a precise widefield microscope with high numerical aperture and visible light usually reaches a resolution of ~250 nm.

Market perspective
Super-resolution microscopy is a form of light microscopy. Due to the diffraction of light, the resolution of conventional light microscopy is limited, as stated by Ernst Abbe in 1873.[1] A good approximation of the resolution attainable is the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the point spread function, and a precise widefield microscope with high numerical aperture and visible light usually reaches a resolution of ~250 nm.
Super-Resolution Microscope industry has much fragmented, manufacturers are mostly in the Europe. Among them, Europe Production value accounted for less than 49% of the total value of global Super-Resolution Microscope. Leica Microsystems is the world leading manufacturer in global Super-Resolution Microscope market with the market share of 21%.
