Parallel imaging with Interference Pattern Structured Illumination Imaging

Interference Pattern Structured Illumination Imaging (IPSII) is an imaging method that uses laser interference patterns to image very small objects. It has a variety of benefits when compared to conventional optical imaging such as higher resolution for a given numerical aperture and a long working distance. One current limitation is the long time needed to take a high-resolution image. I have been developing a computational simulation of IPSII to examine the possibility of applying something analogous to the parallel imaging technique used to speed data acquisition in magnetic resonance imaging.
