We report a generative adversarial network (GAN)-based framework to super-resolve both pixel-limited and diffraction-limited images, acquired by coherent microscopy. We experimentally demonstrate a resolution enhancement factor of 2-6× for a pixel-limited imaging system and 2.5× for a diffraction-limited imaging system using lung tissue sections and Papanicolaou (Pap) smear slides. The efficacy of the technique is proven both quantitatively and qualitatively by a direct visual comparison between the network’s output images and the corresponding high-resolution images. Using this data driven technique, the resolution of coherent microscopy can be improved to substantially increase the imaging throughput.

Abstract
We report a generative adversarial network (GAN)-based framework to super-resolve both pixel-limited and diffraction-limited images, acquired by coherent microscopy. We experimentally demonstrate a resolution enhancement factor of 2-6× for a pixel-limited imaging system and 2.5× for a diffraction-limited imaging system using lung tissue sections and Papanicolaou (Pap) smear slides. The efficacy of the technique is proven both quantitatively and qualitatively by a direct visual comparison between the network’s output images and the corresponding high-resolution images. Using this data driven technique, the resolution of coherent microscopy can be improved to substantially increase the imaging throughput.
