  • Abstract
    In this paper, the authors used fluorescent beads to demonstrate concentration of scattered light into a focus much smaller than the wavelength. Exploiting such a small focus, the imaging of gold nanostructures through an opaque scattering layer was demonstrated. A very high resolution was obtained, proving that scattering can significantly improve the image quality in microscopy.
