ABSTRACT
In the past decade, microsphere-assisted nanoscopy has been developed rapidly to overcome the diffraction limit. However, due to the limited size and high surface curvature of microspheres, the magnified imaging still suffers from problems like limited view scope, imaging distortion, and low contrast. In this paper, we specialize in the imaging mechanism of microspheres and find irradiance as the key factor for microsphere imaging quality. Utilizing a modified optical tweezer system, we achieve precise manipulation of microspheres and further propose a high-quality large-field magnified imaging scheme. The results show that the imaging area of 5â
µm microspheres can reach 16×12 µm2 with the minimum identifiable feature of 137â
nm. This scheme provides a new solution for extending the measuring scope of microsphere-assisted nanoscope, and will certainly promote the application of this technology in practice.
