contents Though structured illumination (SI) microscopy is a popular imaging technique conventionally associated with fluorescent super-resolution, recent works have suggested its applicability towards sub-diffraction coherent imaging with quantitative endogenous biological contrast. Here, we demonstrate that SI can efficiently integrate the principles of fluorescent super-resolution and coherent synthetic aperture to achieve 3D dual-modality sub-diffraction resolution, fluorescence and refractive-index (RI) visualizations of biological samples. Such a demonstration can enable future biological studies to synergistically explore molecular and biophysical/biochemical mechanisms at sub-diffraction resolutions. We experimentally demonstrate this framework by introducing a SI microscope capable of 3D sub-diffraction fluorescence and RI imaging, and verify its biological visualization capabilities by experimentally reconstructing 3D RI/fluorescence visualizations of fluorescent calibration microspheres as well as alveolar basal epithelial adenocarcinoma (A549) and human colorectal adenocarcinmoa (HT-29) cells, fluorescently stained for F-actin.
