Abstract

Example super-resolution microscopy systems are described herein that are configured for relatively high throughput. The disclosed microscopy systems can be to generate an array of sub-diffraction activated areas for imaging. The microscopy systems can be to utilize imaging techniques that employ time delay integration to build up super-resolution images over time. The disclosed microscopy systems can utilize long-lived fluorophores in conjunction with wide field and patterned illumination to generate super-resolution images of a sample with relatively high throughput.
