description

Superresolution methods in digital holographic microscopy provide a useful tool to overcome the Abbe's diffraction limit when using modest microscope lenses. The process improves the cutoff frequency of the microscope lens by means of the generation of a synthetic aperture based on time multiplexing and using 3 main stages: optical coding, optical decoding, and digital postprocessing. After the whole process, a superresolved image is obtained by Fourier transformation of the synthetic aperture.
