Abstract
A new fluorescence microscopy technique for optical sectioning was investigated. This technique combined Spinning Disk microscopy (SD) with Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM), resulting in more background removal than either method. Spinning Disk Structured Illumination Microscopy (SD-SIM) resulted in higher signal-to-background ratios. The method detected and quantified a dendritic spine neck that was impossible to detect with either SIM or SD alone.
