Lateral resolution enhanced interference microscopy using virtual annular apertures

The lateral resolution in microscopic imaging generally depends on both, the wavelength of light and the numerical aperture of the microscope objective lens. To quantify the lateral resolution Ernst Abbe considered an optical grating illuminated by plane waves. In contrast, the Rayleigh criterion ho...
