Abstract
We present a theoretical analysis of the image formation in conventional fluorescence microscopes with structured illumination. We show that optically sectioned images may be obtained with sectioning strengths comparable to those obtained in the confocal microscope. We further show that the approach leads to images exhibiting enhanced spatial frequency content and transfer function behaviour directly comparable to that of the true confocal instrument.
