title: Wide field super-resolution surface imaging through plasmonic structured illumination microscopy.
abstract: We experimentally demonstrate a wide field surface plasmon (SP) assisted super-resolution imaging technique, plasmonic structured illumination microscopy (PSIM), by combining tunable SP interference (SPI) with structured illumination microscopy (SIM). By replacing the laser interference fringes in conventional SIM with SPI patterns, PSIM exhibits greatly enhanced resolving power thanks to the unique properties of SP waves. This PSIM technique is a wide field, surface super-resolution imaging technique with potential applications in the field of high-speed biomedical imaging.
