High throughput has become an important research direction in the field of super-resolution (SR) microscopy, especially in improving the capability of dynamic observations. In this study, we present a hexagonal lattice structured illumination microscopy (hexSIM) system characterized by a large field of view (FOV), rapid imaging speed, and high power efficiency. Our approach employs spatial light interference to generate a two-dimensional hexagonal SIM pattern, and utilizes electro-optical modulators for high-speed phase shifting. This design enables the achievement of a 210-µm diameter SIM illumination FOV when using a 100×/1.49 objective lens, capturing 2048 × 2048 pixel images at an impressive 98 frames per second (fps) single frame rate. Notably, this method attains a near 100% full field-of-view and power efficiency, with the speed limited only by the camera's capabilities. Our hexSIM demonstrates a substantial 1.73-fold improvement in spatial resolution and necessitates only seven phase-shift images, thus enhancing the imaging speed compared to conventional 2D-SIM.

The spectral reflectance provides valuable information regarding vegetation growth and plays an important role in agriculture, forestry, and grassland management. In this study, a small, portable vegetation canopy reflectance (VCR) sensor that can operate throughout the day was developed. The sensor includes two optical bands at 710 nm and 870 nm, with the light separated by filters, and has a field of view of 28°.

Glow discharge optical emission spectrometry (GDOES) allows fast and simultaneous multielemental analysis directly from solids and depth profiling down to the nanometer scale, which is critical for thin-film (TF) characterization. Nevertheless, operating conditions for the best limits of detection (LODs) are compromised in lieu of the best sputtering crater shapes for depth resolution. In addition, the fast transient signals from ultra-TFs do not permit the optimal sampling statistics of bulk analysis such that LODs are further compromised.

The core algorithm for FPM reconstruction draws upon phase retrieval techniques, including methods such as the ptychographic iterative engine (PIE), regularized PIE (rPIE), and embedded pupil function FPM (EPRY-FPM). The calibration of the physical setup plays a crucial role in the quality of the reconstructed high space-bandwidth product (SPB) image.
