Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is one of the most widely applied wide field super resolution imaging techniques with high temporal resolution and low phototoxicity. The spatial resolution of SIM is typically limited to two times of the diffraction limit and the depth of field is small.
In this work, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a low cost, easy to implement, novel technique called speckle structured illumination endoscopy (SSIE) to enhance the resolution of a wide field endoscope with large depth of field. Here, speckle patterns are used to excite objects on the sample which is then followed by a blind-SIM algorithm for super resolution image reconstruction.
Our approach is insensitive to the 3D morphology of the specimen, or the deformation of illuminations used. It greatly simplifies the experimental setup as there are no calibration protocols and no stringent control of illumination patterns nor focusing optics. We demonstrate that the SSIE can enhance the resolution 2–4.5 times that of a standard white light endoscopic (WLE) system.
The SSIE presents a unique route to super resolution in endoscopic imaging at wide field of view and depth of field, which might be beneficial to the practice of clinical endoscopy.
