Abstract: Objects and/or grouped emitters are anti-symmetrically excited. The anti-symmetric radiation emitted by the objects generate an interference pattern with a node in the spacing between the objects. The spacing may be sub-wavelength and/or below a resolution limit for the emitted radiation. Samples within the spacing may be detected via distortion to the inference pattern and visualized (including sub-resolution limit features) either directly or through reconstruction analysis from the interference pattern.
