Movable thin films with embedded high-index microspheres for super-resolution microscopy

Abstract

Microsphere-assisted imaging emerged as a surprisingly simple way of achieving optical super-resolution imaging. In this work, we use movable PDMS thin films with embedded high-index barium titanate glass microspheres a sample scanning capability was developed, thus removing the main limitation of this technology based on its small field-of-view.
