Abstract
Optical configurations for confocal structured illumination Raman (C-SIM Raman) microscopy systems are provided. One example includes a light source configured to project a light; a first set of optical components fixedly aligned along a first optical path, wherein the first set of optical components includes a vortex phase plate and a quarter wave plate, wherein the first set of optical components is configured to receive the light; and a second set of optical components configured to be adjusted between a first operating position and a second operating position. When in the first operating position, the second set of optical component is aligned on the first optical path and is configured to expand, in conjunction with the first set of optical components, the light into an expanded light. When in the second operating position, the second set of optical components is not aligned on the first optical path.
