Abstract
In an improved optical microscope for observing a luminescent specimen, the specimen is excited by a time-multiplexed series of standing wave fields. Then an image of the specimen is recorded and displayed. This specimen can be incrementally moved and additional images can be created and combined. Images of the specimen can also be created when there are nodes or antinodes at the focal plane of the microscope. These images can also be combined to produce an improved image of the specimen.
