Claim:
1. A fluorescence microscopy instrumentation system, the system comprising: a light source to emit an activation beam of light and an excitation beam of light; an objective lens to receive and direct the activation and excitation beams into a specimen labeled with light emitters comprising a number of subsets of light emitters; and a camera to capture light emitted from each subset of the light emitters to record an unprocessed intermediate image for said each subset of the light emitters, the camera to further process the recorded intermediate images and provide processed images to be summed to produce a final super-resolution image of the specimen, and wherein the activation beam of light converts said each subset of the light emitters into an active state and the excitation beam of light converts said each subset of light emitters from the active state into a fluorescent state to emit light.
