Supplementary Figure 1: Increased photon yield for several fluorophores by ultrafast scanning compared to the conventional slow-scanning mode.
Hover over figure to zoomMore than 40 comparative measurement series were performed in order to assess to which extent our fast scanner reduced bleaching. Samples with different labeling were studied with the different available laser configurations. For a single measurement, areas of the same size and of originally similar brightness within the same sample were scanned fast and slow respectively. The total image acquisition duration was kept the same for both cases to ensure the same light dose over the area. The pixel dwell time was 6.25 ns for the ultrafast scanning and 20 µs for the slow-scanning modality. Fluorophore molecules gradually bleached both in ultrafast- and slow-scanned areas, but the photon yield per applied light dose in ultrafast-scanned areas was clearly higher. (a-c) Examples of three measurement series on samples expressing yellow fluorescent protein (YFP): (a) labeled mitochondriae in fixed cells, subjected to continuous-wave (CW) excitation. (b) living neurons (cytosolic expression) in brain slices, subjected to pulsed excitation. (c) fixed neurons (cytosolic expression), subjected to pulsed excitation and CW-STED. The left axis shows the mean value of detected photons in the scanned areas after each consecutive scan. After each measurement series, the mean number of photons collected in the fast scanned area was divided by the mean number of photons in the equivalent slow-scanned area. High peak power of pulsed lasers presumably caused a significant amount of bleaching directly from the excited state before the molecules could cross to the triplet state. Thus, allowing triplet relaxation had a smaller effect. The obtained values are shown as green triangles (right axis of the graphs). These signal increase factors over many different analyzed samples are summarized in (d) with the photon yield in slow scanning given as 1.

Hover over figure to zoomConfocal and STED images of (a) yellow green fluorescent beads with a diameter of 24 nm, (b) MreB-rsEGFP in eisosomes in living E. coli, and (c) single-strand DNA labeled with the dye YOYO acquired by electro-optic temporally stochastic STED recordings. The line profiles indicate the resolution performance in the ultrafast scanning setup.

Supplementary Figure 3: Temporally stochastic STED imaging of single antibodies conjugated to Atto 647N.
Hover over figure to zoom(a) Examples of raw data and (b) data smoothed with a Gaussian filter (width of 2 pixels). Scale bars: 300 nm. (c) Histogram of numbers of detected signal photons per antibody for n=62 separate single-antibody scans. (d) Histogram of full-widths at half-maximum (FWHM) inferred by fitting symmetric Gaussian functions (with variable additive offset) to the smoothed data, for the same 62 single antibodies. (e) Number of signal photons vs. FWHM. The data show a mean resolution of ~58 nm for a mean of ~38 photons per antibody detected, at a background of ~0.06 photons per pixel (or ~0.6 photons per FHWM area). These data were recorded with fluorescence excitation at 640 nm (8 μW in back focal plane, 20 MHz) and STED at 775 nm (37.5 mW in back focal plane, 20 MHz) using a Leica 100× 1.46 NA oil immersion objective. (Pixel size: 17 nm, 30 000 frames of 5 ns dwell time, i.e. 150 μs effective pixel dwell time).

Video 1: Image build-up with ultra-fast scanningThis video shows how images of static samples are acquired. The sample with EGFP-labeled HI-Viruses is scanned with a line frequency of 250 kHz. The photons collected in each frame are accumulated online. One can see both the single frames and the cumulative image during data acquisition in STED as well as in confocal mode. When a sufficient number of photons are collected or when the number of photons per frame decreases, for example due to bleaching, the acquisition can be stopped manually. The video is displayed in real time and is repeated three times.

Video 2: Imaging of diffusing beadsMoving yellow green beads with a diameter of 100 nm are imaged with a frame rate of 793 fps. Many beads were diffusing freely in the water/glycerol film between the cover slip and the cover slide. Some beads were attached to the cover slip. The video in the upper-left panel shows the raw data during STED acquisition. A Gaussian filter with a full width at half maximum of 90 nm was applied to the data shown on the upper-right. The bottom-left panel depicts the raw data of the diffraction-limited confocal imaging of the same area. These data were smoothed with a Gaussian filter of 180 nm width and shown on the bottom-right. The video is slowed down 10 times for display. The original acquisition time was 1.66 sec.
