Abstract: The invention relates to a localization microscopy method for localizing signal sources. Here, at least once for each pixel of a detector, values of an error parameter are ascertained and stored in a calibration data record in a manner assigned to the relevant pixel. Captured image data are used to identify regions of origin of signal sources and fit a point spread function to the pixel values of the respective regions of origin. The respective signal source is localized on the basis of the point spread function. The pixel-specific error parameter of each pixel can be compared to a threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, these pixels are either ignored or replaced by means of interpolation when fitting the point spread function. In addition or as an alternative thereto, the real noise performance of the pixels is ascertained and corrected on the basis of derived pixel-specific error parameters.
