Abstract Limited spatial resolution and low signal to noise ratio are some of the main challenges in optical signal observation, especially for photon emission microscopy. As dynamic emission signals are generated in a 3D space, the use of the time dimension in addition to space enables a better localization of switching events. It can actually be used to infer information with a precision above the resolution limits of the acquired signals. Taking advantage of this property, we report on a post-acquisition processing scheme to generate emission images with a better image resolution than the initial acquisition.

We derived formulas for the tomographic resolution limits [Formula: see text] of diffraction data. Resolution limits exhibited that diffractions can provide twice or more the tomographic resolution of specular reflections and therefore led to more accurate reconstructions of velocities between layers. Numerical simulations supported this claim in which the tomogram inverted from diffraction data was noticeably more resolved compared to that inverted from specular data. The specular synthetics were generated by sources on the surface, and the diffraction data were generated by buried diffractors. However, this advantage is nullified if the intensity and signal-to-noise ratio of the diffractions are much less than those of the pervasive specular reflections.
