Abstract

Prakash and Curd provide a re-analysis of individual datasets taken from our report demonstrating MINFLUX 3D imaging in cells. Their evaluation confirms the unique localization precision provided by MINFLUX featuring a standard deviation of 1-3 nm. We appreciate their confirmation and also welcome the opportunity to clarify their remaining points. The hitherto almost unconceivable 3D localization precision attained by MINFLUX is likely to hold the key to an all-optical dynamical structural biology.

Competing Interest Statement

S.W.H. is a co-founder of the company Abberior Instruments, which commercializes super-resolution microscopy systems, including MINFLUX. S.W.H., K.C.G. and F.B. hold patents on the principles, embodiments and procedures of MINFLUX.
