MINFLUX has achieved extraordinary resolution in superresolution imaging and single fluorophore tracking. It is based on localizing single fluorophores by rapid probing with a patterned beam that features a local intensity minimum. Current implementations, however, are complex and expensive and are limited in speed and robustness. Here, we show that a combination of an electro-optical modulator with a segmented birefringent element such as a spatial light modulator produces a variable …
