Abstract
Fluorescence super-resolution microscopy has advanced optical imaging into the nanoscale regime, transforming biological and interdisciplinary research. However, wide-field super-resolution techniques often compromise temporal resolution, thereby limiting the capture of rapid and transient biological events in living systems. Here we introduce spatial polarization-induced fluorescence fluctuation imaging (SPIFFI), a multichannel polarimetric method for single-shot super-resolution imaging and six-dimensional information extraction. By leveraging the inherently smaller point spread function under polarized detection and capturing polarization-dependent spatial fluctuations across multiplexed channels, SPIFFI achieves instant resolution enhancement from a single exposure. This capability substantially enhances the feasibility of volumetric live-cell super-resolution imaging. Moreover, SPIFFI images can integrate seamlessly with existing fluctuation-based methods for further postprocessing and resolution improvement. We demonstrate the versatility of SPIFFI through experiments on both fixed and live cells, capturing rapid subcellular dynamics and enabling high-throughput, multidimensional imaging beyond the diffraction limit. SPIFFI thus offers a practical and robust platform for real-time super-resolution imaging in biological research.
