Microscopy System with Structured Illumination

Abstract


The microscopy system with structured illumination for fluorescent samples can improve the resolution of the microscopy system by a factor of 2 compared with the resolution predicted by Abbe theory. VirtualLab Fusion provides a fast way to investigate the structured illumination pattern by the incident wave property. The polarization of the incident wave and its influence on the contrast of the structured illumination pattern is investigated.
