Chip-based label-free incoherent super-resolution optical microscopy by Nikhil Jayakumar, Luis E. Villegas-Hernández, Weisong Zhao, Hong Mao, Firehun T. Dullo, Jean-Claude Tinguely, Krizia Sagini, Alicia Llorente, Balpreet Singh Ahluwalia

“…We demonstrate that such an illumination has properties that mimic the photo-kinetics of nano-sized fluorescent molecules, i.e., such an illumination permits incoherence between the scattered fields from various locations on the sample plane. Thus, the illumination scheme enables the development of a far-field label-free incoherent imaging system that is linear in intensity and stable over time, thereby permitting the application of techniques like structured illumination microscopy (SIM) and intensity-fluctuation-based optical nanoscopy (IFON) in label-free mode to circumvent the diffraction limit. …”
