To image deeper, keep imaging. They also mention a way to ablate layers of atoms faster. Pathologists have been using dead H&E tissue sections for clinical diagnosis for a century. Almost all TEM has been on dead specimens for over 50 years. For that matter, most fluorescence microscopy - and especially confocal - microscopy specimens for the past 25 years have been dead on arrival on the microscope. Dead is dead - doesn't matter how fast if it gets you the atomic (ions) info unavailable at the resolution needed to answer the question. More interesting is where to store, archive, process and analyze all this data.

I use dead samples whenever I can get away with it. Much less trouble than live cell or intravital microscopy, so I totally agree with you on that point. I merely mentioned this to suggest that super resolution light microscopy still has some advantages (potential advantages at least, I admit that sometimes I wonder how alive a sample still is after catching all the photons it requires for these techniques.) I disagree on the issue of speed however. If you need n=30, it will make an important practical difference whether your frame time is a minute or an hour. Thank you for the additional links in your other e-mail. Pretty fascinating.
