Employing dielectric microspheres in a standard microscope setup is an alternative to image sub-diffraction features optically, however this method suffers from a limited field-of-view. Here, we show our microsphere-based optical super-resolution microscop ...
High-refractive index dielectric microspheres positioned within the field of view of a microscope objective in a dielectric medium can focus the light into a so-called photonic nanojet. A sample placed in such nanojet can be imaged by the objective with su ...
Dielectric microspheres with appropriate refractive index can image objects with super-resolution, that is, with a precision well beyond the classical diffraction limit. A microsphere is also known to generate upon illumination a photonic nanojet, which is ...
