The microscope integrates 2PEF microscopy and stimulated emission depletion microscopy in one microscope that has the benefits of both techniques: intrinsic three-dimensional resolution, confined photobleaching, and subdiffraction-limit resolution. The subdiffraction-limit resolution was demonstrated by resolving green-fluorescent-protein-tagged caveolar vesicles located within a distance shorter than the diffraction limit of a regular 2PEF microscope, which is similar to 250 nm even with the best optics. The full width at half-maximum of the effective point-spread function for the 2PEF microscope was estimated to be similar to 54 nm.}, keywords = {CAVEOLAE, NANOSCOPY, PROTEIN, RESOLUTION, STATES, STED MICROSCOPY, STIMULATED-EMISSION-DEPLETION}, isbn = {0006-3495}, url = {://000272765400020}, author = {Li, Q.
