This invention relates to an image recovery and pupil filtering type transverse super-resolution confocal microscopic imaging method and apparatus, which comprises a light source (1) with a collimated beam expander (2) and a pupil filter (3), a split-beam polarizer (4) with a 1/4 plate (5) and a microscopic objective lens (6) both on reflection path and a collecting lens (7) on transmitted path that comprises a pinhole (8) on focus of (7) and a CCD probe (9) behind (8). This invention improves system lateral resolution and has wide application. |
