Abstract
The present invention discloses an optical system to generate incoherent structured illumination and an optical imaging system using incoherent structured illumination. The optical system includes: at least one coherent light source, a spatial light modulator, a plurality of optical lenses, a rotating diffuser for destroying the coherence of the structured illumination pattern, an objective, and a stage accommodating samples. The optical imaging system using incoherent structured illumination includes: an optical microscope having an objective and a beam splitter, a charge-coupled device camera for recording a sequence of images of the samples, a stage for accommodating and moving samples; a coherent light source; a spatial light modulator; a quarter wave plate, a plurality of optical lenses and mirrors; and a diffuser rotating 360 degrees or vibrating rapidly around the axis of the optical path continuously.
