This is an author correction notice. The original article, "Self-referencing ultrafast wide-field pump-probe microscopy," published in Nature, contained errors that have now been rectified. Such corrections are standard in scientific publishing and ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data and conclusions presented.

The correction specifically pertains to self-referencing ultrafast wide-field pump-probe microscopy, an advanced technique used to study dynamic processes on extremely short timescales. The technique allows observation of changes in the optical properties of a sample following excitation with a laser pulse (pump), using a second pulse (probe) to interrogate the sample. The "self-referencing" feature implies that the system can calibrate itself, improving measurement stability and precision.

Although the notice does not detail the exact nature of the errors, author corrections typically address typos, errors in figures or tables, or clarifications in methodology or interpretation of results. The publication of these corrections is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the scientific record and allowing other researchers to build upon solid foundations.
