David Agard’s Super-Resolution Microscopy

This lecture describes a several methods for approximately doubling the resolution of the light microscope: 1) illuminating and detecting through two objectives, 2) structured illumination (SIM) with a patterned light source, and 3) saturating (high intensity) structured illumination to provide further resolution extension. The methods and examples of image are presented.

David Agard’s Deconvolution Microscopy

Deconvolution is a technique to calculate a model for the object that gave rise to the microscope image using knowledge about the way the microscope forms images. This lecture describes the basic principles of various deconvolution techniques and introduces principles important to deconvolution such as the Fourier transform, points spread function and optical transfer function.
