The biggest challenge of super-resolution
Okada has to confess that seeing his first super-resolution image, he was not so impressed. He thinks he had been too expecting. But coming back to his conventional confocal microscope afterwards he thought something was wrong with the image quality. Only then he realized how good super-resolution was. The biggest challenge of super-resolution Okada sees in the problem of photodamage and in finding a good compromise between the physiology of the cell and the signal-to-noise ratio. He acts on the assumption that – within a couple of years – super-resolution will be the must for all cell biologists. Collaboration with Leica Microsystems Okada always felt like fun and he praises Leica's flexibility and its openness to the needs and requests of the scientists.
