Abstract
A parallel scanning method using optical lattices is proposed theoretically to improve the imaging speed of fluorescence emission difference microscopy (FED), which gives the wide field imaging capability to FED while maintaining all the basic advantages of single point FED. The basic principle of wide field FED (wfFED) is presented briefly and the method of generating optical lattices is discussed. The resolution via two types of optical lattices pattern scanning is also studied. With optical lattices scanning, which is generated by two orthogonally crossed standing waves, the wfFED can be implemented without wide field excitation. This strategy can further improve the wfFED imaging speed and simplify the set-up.
