Superresolved spatially multiplexed interferometric microscopy

Superresolution capability by angular and time multiplexing is implemented onto a regular microscope. The technique, named superresolved spatially multiplexed interferometric microscopy (S2MIM), follows our previously reported SMIM technique [Opt. Express 22, 14929 (2014), J. Biomed. Opt. 21, 106007 (2016)] improved with superresolved imaging. All together, S2MIM updates a commercially available nonholographic microscope into a superresolved holographic one. Validation is presented for an Olympus BX-60 upright microscope with resolution test targets. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America
