Method of lightening at least one biological sample, three-dimensional high resolution depletion microscopy method and corresponding microscope

Lightening method of at least one biological sample (S), in which said at least one biological sample includes at least one or more fluorophores, at the focal point (F) of at least one objective lens (L) having a main optical axis (zz), the method comprising the following operational steps:—lightening (step 10) said at least one biological sample (S) with at least one excitation beam (EB), which propagates between said at least one objective lens (L) and said at least one biological sample (S) along at least one first propagation axis (aa);—lightening (step 20) said at least one biological sample (S) with at least two depletion beams (DB, DB′), which propagate between said at least one objective lens (L) and said at least one biological sample (S) along the respective second propagation axes (bb, said depletion beams being donut-shaped, each one in a plane orthogonal to the respective second propagation axis (bb, b …
