We integrated the pre-characterized physical model of super-resolution (SR) microscopy into a deep neural network to guide the denoising of raw images for high-quality SR image reconstruction. This approach enabled us to investigate a wide variety of fragile and rapidly evolving bioprocesses at ultrahigh spatiotemporal resolution over extended imaging times.
