Abstract:
Live electrooptic imaging (LEI) in the microscopic range has been successfully demonstrated for the first time. The finest resolution achieved in the present study is 2.7 μm, which is finer than the previous record by more than an order of magnitude. This drastic improvement in the resolution record has been achieved through comprehensive improvement of the limiting factors of the conventional LEI system. Residual limiting factors in the improved system have been systematically analyzed and ideas for even finer resolution have also been presented.
