In the present work a new method for optical imaging is illustrated with a contingent of the diffraction limits beyond Auflüsungsvermögen: The optical system itself is used unchanged. In (or near) the object plane but a mask is spatially variable transmission (eg a grid) mounted or ready there. This mask must be moved over the object field. A second such mask is placed in the (intermediate) image plane. This mask has to be displaced over the image field. The two masks perform another optically conjugate scanning movements about the object or image field. The resulting masks during the scanning of the image is of a radiation receiver suitable inertia (eg, eye, film, etc.) is integrated over time. The result is an image of the object with high resolution. (The bandwidth of the transmitted spatial frequency band is increased., The method is effective in coherent, any partially coherent and incoherent object illumination. His action and imaging properties are described." I'll see if I can get the full text at some point Joel On Fri, Aug 9, 2013 at 6:42 PM, Andrew York < [hidden email]> wrote: > ***** > To join, leave or search the confocal microscopy listserv, go to: > http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=confocalmicroscopy > ***** > > The start of a recent NM article, talking about superres, reads: > "...early work involved methods such as structured light illumination, > first pioneered by Lukosz and Marchand [1]..." > > I didn't know SIM was explored back in the 60's!

It is cited in Mats Gustafsson's seminal paper in PNAS September 13, 2005 vol. 102 no. 37 13081-13086. So far as I can see it is pointing towards Mats' approach but it is totally theoretical (no images). It certainly is not unknown.

To join, leave or search the confocal microscopy listserv, go to: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=confocalmicroscopy ***** I had a go at tidying up the abstract (although Google Translate did a rather impressive job), for referencing purposes: (Note also that in the title, it should be 'Optische' without the n). Lukosz W, Marchand M. Optische Abbildung unter Überschreitung der beugungsbedingten Auflösungsgrenze. Opt. Acta, Volume 10, Issue 3, 241-255 (1963). German. Optical imaging surpassing the diffraction limit. As is well-known, the resolution that can be achieved with an optical system (more precisely, the bandwidth of the local frequency band transmitted by the system) is limited in principle by diffraction. In this study, a new method for optical imaging, with a resolving power surpassing the diffraction limit, is described: While the optical system itself is not modified, a mask with locally variable transmission (e.g. a grid) is inserted into, or projected onto (or near) the object plane. This mask must be shiftable across the object plane. A second such mask is placed in the (intermediate) image plane. This mask must be shiftable across the image plane. The two masks enable optically conjugated scanning across the object- and image field, respectively. During this scanning process, the created image is integrated over time by a detector of suitable sensitivity (e.g. eye, film). The result is an image of the object with increased resolution (i.e. the bandwidth of the locally transmitted frequency band is increased). The method can be used for coherent, partially coherent and incoherent illumination of an object. Its mode of action and imaging properties are described. _____________________________________ Philippe Laissue, PhD, Bioimaging Manager School of Biological Sciences, Room 4.17 University of Essex, Colchester CO4 3SQ, UK (0044) 01206 872246 / (0044) 07842 676 456 [hidden email] privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~plaissue On Sat, Aug 10, 2013 at 4:04 AM, JOEL B.

One is a double slit experiment resolved in the 'SIM imaging' but not resolved in conventional imaging, the other a single slit. While not microscopy, I find it astonishing that they got it to work. There is also an abstract in english at the end of the paper (and a french one): It is known that diffraction sets an upper limit to the resolving power of an optical system or, put more precisely, to the band-width of spatial frequencies that the system can transmit. A new method is described for obtaining optical images with a resolution exceeding the limits set by diffraction. The optical system itself is not modified, but a mask, or the image of a mask formed by projection is introduced in or near to the object plane. This mask has a variable transmission (for example a grating), and is movable in the object field. A second similar mask is introduced in or near to the image plane, or the plane of an intermediate image, and is moved conjugately with the object plane mask. The image obtained during the scanning by the masks is integrated in time by a receptor of suitable inertia (for example, the eye, or a photographic emulsion). There results art image of the object with enhanced resolution and contrast (the bandwidth of the transmitted spatial frequencies is increased, and the frequency response is raised). The method may be used with coherent, partially coherent or incoherent illumination. Its method of operation and imaging properties are described. -----Original Message----- From: Guy Cox <[hidden email]> To: CONFOCALMICROSCOPY <[hidden email]> Sent: Sat, 10 Aug 2013 15:22 Subject: Re: Old SIM reference ***** To join, leave or search the confocal microscopy listserv, go to: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=confocalmicroscopy ***** I have the article but although I do know some German it's a bit too technical for me (I can usually handle biological papers).
