Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) Literature References
Although technically not a superresolution technique, conventional structured illumination microscopy (SIM; pioneered by Professor Tony Wilson) is useful for optical sectioning and forms the physical basis for higher resolution techniques. SIM relies on a grid pattern residing in one of the illumination apertures to generate a sinusoidal excitation wavefield that can be used to extract information from the image focal plane (thus rejecting out-of-focus blur). Several commercial implementations are available for standard widefield microscopes.
