Super-resolution chromatin imaging techniques are emerging as powerful tools for spatial genomics. However, it remains challenging to visualize the genome on the order of tens of nanometers, a scale that can reveal rich structural detail about the nuclear organization. Here we introduce Decode-PAINT, a multiplexed in situ method, which leverages rapid diffraction-limited pre-decoding and DNA-PAINT (DNA points accumulation for imaging nanoscale topography). Decode-PAINT visualizes multiple discrete genomic regions at a resolution close to the nucleosome scale with a simple and easy-to-implement optical setup, reduces total imaging time by omitting multiple rounds of single-molecule recording, and enables the interrogation of the ultrastructure of the targets with
