The nonlinearity of multiphoton transitions allows one to obtain sub-Rayleigh resolution, which, e.g., for Gaussian-shaped spatial structures, yields a sharpening scaling as 1/N with the order N of the transition. With repeated and translated recordings, also an improved spatial periodicity can be achieved, as demonstrated in this paper.
