"numerous possible microscope mirror/ lens/ beam-splitter placements...  overcomes 250 nm light diffraction limit... simple optical configurations, image magnification, stimulated emission depletion microscopy, method for achieving super-resolution using optical vortices, found best possible super-resolution design given available optical elements, and created combined blueprint for these... modular nature of the framework allows it to be easily adapted for different types of microscopy and imaging techniques"
