Effect of aberrations on SIM. (a) Schematic of the principles of SIM. (b) Schematic showing how aberrations in the illumination pattern are equivalent to an offset in the spatial coordinates of the intensity focal distribution. In these examples, coma creates a lateral shift equivalent to tilt; spherical aberration shifts along the axis in the same way as defocus.
