Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for the optical imaging of a physical specimen of interest that is in contact with, or in close proximity to, the backplane of a high refractive index solid-immersion lens (SIL), wherein the specimen comprises features of interest that act as a local high-refractive index regions. The SIL lens preferably comprises fiducial markers.

Abstract: An optical imaging system with microlens array with integral structure includes a microlens array having a back surface for depositing sample material to be imaged and one or more microlenses on a front surface. At least one of the one or more microlenses are aligned to the deposited sample material. A plate is attached to the microlens array. A microscope objective is positioned proximate to the plurality of microlenses.

Abstract: A fluidic super resolution optical imaging system includes a microlens array chip comprising at least one lenslet on a first surface. An objective lens is positioned proximate to the at least one lenslet. A fluid jet is positioned proximate to a second surface of the microlens array that flows at least one of a fluid comprising a material to be imaged or a material that enables imaging of a second material through a focal area of the objective lens and the at least one lenslet.
