Nonlinear structured-illumination microscopy: wide-field fluorescence imaging with theoretically unlimited resolution.
Contrary to the well known diffraction limit, the fluorescence microscope is in principle capable of unlimited resolution. The necessary elements are spatially structured illumination light and a nonlinear dependence of the fluorescence emission rate on the illumination intensity. As an example of this concept, this article experimentally demonstrates saturated structured-illumination microscop...
متن کاملSaturated structured confocal microscopy with theoretically unlimited resolution
The resolution of fluorescence microscopes is limited by diffraction, which determines the extension of their point spread functions. We propose and study numerically a simple method, based on a combination of subtraction microscopy with regular and annular excitation beams, which permits to double the resolution compared to wide-field microscopy. When combined with the fluorescence saturation ...
متن کاملImage formation in structured illumination wide-field fluorescence microscopy.
We present a theoretical analysis of the image formation in structured illumination wide-field fluorescence microscopy (SIWFFM). We show that the optically sectioned images obtained with this approach possess the optical sectioning strengths comparable to those obtained with the confocal microscope. We further show that the transfer function behaviour is directly comparable to that of the true ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional resolution doubling in wide-field fluorescence microscopy by structured illumination.
Structured illumination microscopy is a method that can increase the spatial resolution of wide-field fluorescence microscopy beyond its classical limit by using spatially structured illumination light. Here we describe how this method can be applied in three dimensions to double the axial as well as the lateral resolution, with true optical sectioning. A grating is used to generate three mutua...
متن کاملLocalized plasmon assisted structured illumination microscopy for wide-field high-speed dispersion-independent super resolution imaging.
A new super resolution imaging method, i.e. Localized Plasmon assisted Structured Illumination Microscopy (LPSIM), is proposed. LPSIM uses an array of localized plasmonic antennas to provide dynamically tunable near-field excitations resulting in finely structured illumination patterns, independent of any propagating surface plasmon dispersion limitations. The illumination pattern feature sizes...
