Claim 0:
1. An apparatus, comprising:
an asymmetrically patterned flowcell comprising a plurality of elongated nanowells to contain a biological sample;
a light emitter to project an optical pattern onto the biological sample contained in the flowcell;
a camera assembly to capture a plurality of images of the optical pattern overlaid on the biological sample, the plurality of images reflecting a first phase, a second phase, and a third phase of the optical pattern relative to the biological sample; and
a processor to reconstruct a high resolution image representative of the biological sample based on a combination of the plurality of images; wherein the asymmetrically patterned flowcell and the plurality of elongated nanowells reduce a number of the plurality of images required to reconstruct the high resolution image representative of the biological sample.
