Resolution-enhanced Fourier ptychographic microscopy based on high-numerical-aperture illuminations

Abstract High-resolution and wide field-of-view (FOV) microscopic imaging plays a central role in diverse applications such as high-throughput screening and digital pathology. However, conventional microscopes face inherent trade-offs between the spatial resolution and FOV, which are fundamental lim...
