Resolution enhancement in nonlinear scanning microscopy through post-detection digital computation

In the last decade, the resolution of optical microscopy has been doubled thanks to linear structured illumination. The resolution has been further improved by combining structured illumination with nonlinear photoresponse. Recently, structured illumination has been combined with point-scanning microscopy. In this paper, we investigate whether, as in wide field acquisition, significant resolution enhancement can be obtained by harnessing the nonlinear response of the sample when point-scanning structured illumination is employed. We compare point scanning with wide field structured illumination microscopy in terms of signal-to-noise ratio. We conclude that superresolution using saturated point-scanning structured illumination is severely restricted to the first nonlinear orders. We identify possibilities for how different beam shapes or nonlinear phenomena might be envisaged for future implementations

The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer Book 2018

(Abridged) This is the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer 2018 book. It is intended as a concise reference guide to all aspects of the scientific and technical design of MSE, for the international astronomy and engineering communities, and related agencies. The current version is a status report of MSE's science goals and their practical implementation, following the System Conceptual Design Review, held in January 2018. MSE is a planned 10-m class, wide-field, optical and near-infrared facility, designed to enable transformative science, while filling a critical missing gap in the emerging international network of large-scale astronomical facilities. MSE is completely dedicated to multi-object spectroscopy of samples of between thousands and millions of astrophysical objects. It will lead the world in this arena, due to its unique design capabilities: it will boast a large (11.25 m) aperture and wide (1.52 sq. degree) field of view; it will have the capabilities to observe at a wide range of spectral resolutions, from R2500 to R40,000, with massive multiplexing (4332 spectra per exposure, with all spectral resolutions available at all times), and an on-target observing efficiency of more than 80%. MSE will unveil the composition and dynamics of the faint Universe and is designed to excel at precision studies of faint astrophysical phenomena. It will also provide critical follow-up for multi-wavelength imaging surveys, such as those of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, Gaia, Euclid, the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope, the Square Kilometre Array, and the Next Generation Very Large Array.Comment: 5 chapters, 160 pages, 107 figure
