Which far-field imaging methods can extend the diffraction limited resolution to a smaller value?

Deterministic super-resolution: The most commonly used emitters in biological microscopy, fluorophores, show a nonlinear response to excitation, and this nonlinear response can be exploited to enhance resolution, such as STED, GSD, RESOLFT and SSIM.

Stochastic super-resolution: The chemical complexity of many molecular light sources gives them a complex temporal behavior, which can be used to make several close-by fluorophores emit light at separate times and thereby become resolvable in time, such as Super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging (SOFI) and all single-molecule localization methods (SMLM) such as SPDM, SPDMphymod, PALM, FPALM, STORM and dSTORM.

you can't see the options

they both go up but then go back down. they both end lower than they started. lastly, they both are competitive/the second on.
