1. A method for determining coordinate positions of light-emitting particles that label at least one component of a sample specimen using a microscope, the method comprising: activating a subset of the light-emitting particles; capturing a series of images of the light emitted from the subset of particles illuminated with excitation light in a three-dimensional structured illumination pattern; generating a resolved image of the light-emitting particles from the series of images; and repeatedly activating, illuminating, capturing and generating to obtain a number of resolved images that are processed to obtain a super-resolution image of the at least one component.
