Optical Microscopy

Is there a way to measure the magnitude of a dislocation burger's vector via high precision optical microscopes?

I need to calculate the size or magnitude of the burger's vector of a dislocation in crystalline materials, metals. Obviously and typically, it can be measured via XRD or the electron microscopy methods, TEM and SEM. The question is:

could it also be measured via high precision optical microscopes, as precise as 1nm ?
