Stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED) is a powerful tool for studying nanoscale cell structure and activity, but the difficulties it encounters in multicolor imaging limit its application in biological research. To overcome the disadvantages of limited number of channels and high cost of multicolor STED imaging based on spectral identity, we introduced lifetime into live-cell multicolor STED imaging by separating selected dyes of the same spectrum by phasor analysis. Experimental results show that our method enables live-cell STED imaging with at least 4 colors, enabling observation of cellular activity beyond the diffraction limit.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
