We describe a new concept of multimodal super-resolution imaging which combines the cumulant analysis from Super-resolution Optical Fluctuation Imaging (SOFI) with the imprinting of three-dimensional, spectral or other information into peculiar Point-Spread Function (PSF) patterns. This concept allows for encoding multidimensional or multimodal information into a single image plane and to extract this information by an appropriate spatio-temporal correlation analysis of emitter fluctuations. Here, we develop the general theory of this concept, and present proof-of-principle experiments of three-dimensional super-resolution imaging.
