What is the main advantage of confocal laser-scanning microscopy (CLSM) compared to standard brightfield microscopy?

Limited spatial resolution

Ability to capture very dynamic cellular processes (correct)

Efficiency in capturing deep into thicker specimens

Higher magnification capabilities

How are images obtained with standard fluorescence microscopy different from those obtained with confocal laser-scanning microscopy (CLSM)?

They have higher spatial resolution in CLSM images.

CLSM captures images at a lower magnification than standard fluorescence microscopy.

CLSM excludes out-of-focus fluorescence from the specimen. (correct)

Standard fluorescence microscopy captures more dynamic processes than CLSM.

How does super-resolution CLSM differ from standard CLSM in terms of spatial resolution?

Both super-resolution and standard CLSM have similar spatial resolutions.

Super-resolution CLSM has spatial resolution about 10 times better than standard CLSM. (correct)

Standard CLSM has better spatial resolution than super-resolution CLSM.

Super-resolution CLSM has spatial resolution about 10 times worse than standard CLSM.
