The desire of astronomers for wide field telescope systems which surpass the RCC (1:8 max. 1.5 degree) in light gathering power and field of view are relative concrete today. For this type of telescope, detectors planned ARE CCDs in multichip arrangement.

It was realised very early in the development of the ESO 16 metre equivalent Very Large Telescope (VLT) that wide-field imaging is too complicated and costly to implement on the VLT itself and should be done with a smaller telescope.

I present a preliminary analysis of three UV images of the Virgo cluster region, obtained by the FAUST experiment (Bowyer et al. 1993) in April 1992. FAUST is a wide-field imaging telescope covering an 8° area with effective resolution of 3′.5. The experiment was constructed by the Berkeley Space Astronomy Group together with the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique Spatiale of the CNES. It operated on board the Shuttle during the mission ATLAS-1.

AbstractUntil very recently, super-resolution localization and tracking of fluorescent particles used camera-based wide-field imaging with uniform illumination. Then it was demonstrated that structured illuminations encode additional localization information in images. The first demonstration of this uses scanning and hence suffers from limited throughput. This limitation was mitigated by fusing camera-based localization with wide-field structured illumination. Current implementations, however, use effectively only half the localization information that they encode in images. Here we demonstrate how all of this information may be exploited by careful calibration of the structured illumination. Our approach achieves maximal resolution for given structured illumination, has a simple data analysis, and applies to any structured illumination in principle. We demonstrate this with an only slightly modified wide-field microscope. Our protocol should boost the emerging field of high-precision localization with structured illumination.
