Which mechanism enhances resolution in stimulated emission depletion microscopy?

💡 Explanation

Spatial modulation of fluoresence enhances resolution because stimulated emission selectively suppresses fluorescence at the edges using a depletion beam. This narrowing sharpens the effective point spread function therefore improving resolution, rather than alternative methods which do not directly shape the signal.
