STRUCTURAL ILLUMINATION AND EVANESCENT COUPLING FOR THE EXTENSION OF IMAGING INTERFEROMETRIC MICROSCOPY

摘要

In accordance with the aspects of the present disclosure, a method and apparatus is disclosed for imaging interferometric microscopy (IIM), which can use an immersion medium to enhance resolution up to a resolution of linear systems resolution limit of lambda/4n, where lambda is the wavelength in free space and n is the index of refraction of a transmission medium.
