ABSTRACT
Rotating coherent scattering (ROCS) microscopy is a label-free imaging technique that overcomes the optical diffraction limit by adding up the scattered laser light from a sample obliquely illuminated from different angles. Although ROCS imaging achieves 150 nm spatial and 10 ms temporal resolution, simply summing different speckle patterns may cause loss of sample information. In this paper we present Deep-ROCS, a neural network-based technique that generates a superior-resolved image by efficient numerical combination of a set of differently illuminated images. We show that Deep-ROCS can reconstruct super-resolved images more accurately than conventional ROCS microscopy, retrieving high-frequency information from a small number (6) of speckle images. We demonstrate the performance of Deep-ROCS experimentally on 200 nm beads and by computer simulations, where we show its potential for even more complex structures such as a filament network.
