Abstract
Taking advantage of the stochastic photoswitching of genetically encodable reversibly photoswitchable fluorescent proteins (RSFPs), super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging (SOFI) and its variant photochromic stochastic optical fluctuation imaging (pcSOFI) are valuable tools for wide field super-resolution (SR) imaging. Live-cell (pc)SOFI, which requires a small number of original frames to reconstruct an SR image, is prone to structural discontinuity artifacts and low spatial resolution. Herein, we developed a repeated synchronized on- and gradually off-switching SOFI (SOGO-SOFI) that maximized the photoswitching frequency of RSFPs by light modulation and required only 20 frames for high-quality reconstruction. Live-cell SOGO-SOFI imaging of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exhibited 10 times higher temporal resolution (100 fps) and fewer artifacts than pcSOFI. Moreover, a combination of SOGO-SOFI with Airyscan further increased the image contrast and the resolution of Airyscan by a factor of 1.5 from 140 nm to 91 nm. The capabilities of SOGO-SOFI were further demonstrated by dual-color imaging of nucleolar proteins in mammalian cells and deep imaging of ER structures in thick brain slices (20.6 µm).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
