\subsection{Data acquisition}
Single photon data was acquired with a dual mode cooled Hamamatsu C1790-13 EBCCD, with 512$\times$512 pixels and 24$\times$24~$\mu$m pixel size.
The photocathode in the EBCCD is a GaAsP plate with an approximate quantum efficiency of 50\% at 520~nm. Photoelectrons liberated from the
GaAsP photocathode are accelerated across a potential difference into a back-thinned CCD. The EBCCD was cooled to an operation temperature of
-15$^\circ$C. -15$^\circ$C, and HiPic 7.1.0 software was used for image
acquisition, acquisition with
10$\mu$s exposure time
of 10$\mu$s and super-high amplifier gain.
The EBCCD was attached to the output port of an inverted Nikon Eclipse TE2000-E microscope, see Fig~\ref{fig1}a. For the 1951 USAF resolution test chart (Fig~\ref{fig1}b), the microscope was used with a 4$\times$ 0.13NA air objective (Nikon). A fluorescent cell sample (FluoCells Prepared Slide \#1, Molecular Probes) was imaged with a 100$\times$ 1.4NA oil objective (Nikon). The illumination intensity was adjusted such that single photon event could be observed (Fig~\ref{fig1}c,d).

The EBCCD was attached to the output port of an inverted Nikon Eclipse TE2000-E microscope, see Fig~\ref{fig1}a. For transmission imaging of the 1951 USAF resolution test chart (Fig~\ref{fig1}b), the microscope was used with a 4$\times$ 0.13NA air objective (Nikon) and a halogen lamp. For epifluorescence imaging, a cell sample (FluoCells Prepared Slide \#1, Molecular Probes) was excited pulsed 467 nm diode laser (Hamamatsu PLP-10) and imaged with a 100$\times$ 1.4NA oil objective (Nikon). The illumination intensity was adjusted such that single photon event could be observed (Fig~\ref{fig1}c,d).
\subsection{Data processing}
The frames containing single photon events were processed with the ThunderSTORM \cite{Ovesny2014} superresolution imaging plug-in for ImageJ. Due to computational memory restraints, the USAF test pattern data was processed in six 5,000 image stacks. The
data is software first
processed to detect detects the
photon events from the noise background, before
a an approximate localization algorithm locates the
approximate centre
pixel of
the photon each event. Subsequently, a sub-pixel localization algorithm
is used to calculate calculates the centre of
photon the events with greater resolution.
The software camera parameters were set to 80.0~nm pixel size and 36 photoelectrons per A/D count. The base level varied between image stacks due to fluctuations in the EBCCD temperature, and was set to the average minimum grey value for the image stack in the range of 100-140 A/D counts. A wavelet (b-spline) image filter was applied with order of 3 and scale of 2.0. For the approximate localization of the events, centroid of connected components method was used with a peak intensity threshold (PIT) of 2*std(Wave.F1) for the USAF data, and a PIT of 1.5*std(Wave.F1) for cell data, with watershed algorithm enabled for all data.

approximate localization algorithms, centroid resolution of
connected components (CoCC) was used with overlapping events and a
peak intensity threshold (PIT) of 2*std(Wave.F1) for lower FPN, the Maximum Resolution (MR) settings can be applied to the
USAF data,
and however this produces a
PIT of 1.5*std(Wave.F1) for cell data, substantial increase in processing time. For MR settings, Maximum Likelihood (ML) fitting method was used with
watershed algorithm enabled for all data. Gaussian PSF with 7 pixel fitting radius and SD of 1.0 pixels.
For the sub-pixel localization algorithms, integrated Gaussian (IG) PSF was set to a 3 pixel Multiple-emitter fitting
radius, a 1.6 pixel standard deviation (SD) and the least squares (LS) fitting method and radial symmetry analysis (MFA) was
applied tested with
MR settings and a
maximum of 2
pixel estimation radius. To achieve good photon detection molecules per fitting region with
adequate FPN in a
very short period model selection threshold (p-value) of
time, the data can be processed 10$^{-6}$. When MFA was enabled, ThunderSTORM's ``remove duplicates'' post-processing tool was applied with
the Rapid Estimation (RE) settings described below. To achieve optimal photon detection, the resolution a distance threshold of
overlapping events 160~nm, and
a lower FPN, the Maximum Resolution (MR) settings can be ``intensity$>$4000'' filter was applied to the
data, however this produces a substantial increase in processing time. For the RE processing approximate localization algorithms, Gaussian PSF was set to a 2 pixel fitting radius with a 1.0 pixel SD and the Maximum Likelihood (ML) fitting method, USAF data and
for the MR processing, Gaussian PSF was set ``intensity$>$3000'' filter to
a 7 pixel fitting radius with a 1.0 pixel SD with the
Maximum Likelihood (ML) fitting method. cell data.
When the multiple-emitter Least squares (LS) fitting
analysis (MFA) method was
applied in conjunction to the also tested with integrated Gaussian (IG) PSF
gaussian or IG algorithms, it was used with
a maximum of 1 molecule per 3 pixel fitting
region radius and
a model selection threshold (p-value) of 10$^{-6}$ for the RE processing, or a maximum of 2 molecules per fitting region 1.6 pixel SD, and
a model selection threshold (p-value) of 10$^{-6}$ for the MR processing. For USAF test pattern data processed using the MR settings with MFA enabled, ThunderSTORM's ``remove duplicates'' post-processing tool was applied radial symmetry localisation method with
a distance threshold of 160~nm and an ``intensity$>$4000'' filter was used. For cells data, the remove duplicates tool was also applied with a distance threshold of 160~nm but with an ``intensity$>$3000'' filter. No post-processing was required for data processed using RE settings. 2 pixel estimation radius.
