Abstract
Recently we introduced RESCH microscopy [1] - a scanning microscope that allows slightly refocusing the sample after the acquisition has been performed, solely by performing appropriate data post-processing. The microscope features a double-helix phase-engineered emission point spread function in combination with camera-based detection. Based on the principle of transverse resolution enhancement in Image Scanning Microscopy [2,3], we demonstrate similar resolution improvement in RESCH. Furthermore, we outline a pathway for how the collected 3D sample information can be used to construct sharper optical sections. [1] A. Jesacher, M. Ritsch-Marte and R. Piestun, accepted for Optica.
