The resolution in fluorescence microscopy can be doubled by using multiple illuminations with spatially periodic illumination patterns and combining the raw images into a final high resolution image. This toolbox in which optics is combined with image processing can be further expanded by projecting arbitrary illumination patterns onto the sample with a Programmable Array Microscope. This type of microscope is a carrier for novel object reconstruction algorithms borrowed from the field of Compressive Sensing, and it also allows for efficient 3D imaging. A different route to 3D imaging is the plenoptic microscope in which a micro-lens array enables 3D object reconstruction from a single 2D image capture.
