Claim 0:
1. A method of generating an image of a sample exhibiting non-Poissonian emission statistics, the method comprising:
providing a plurality of photon detectors;
scanning the sample with an excitation beam over a pre-determined time period;
receiving, by said detectors, photons emitted by the sample due to the excitation during said time period;
generating a plurality of intensity images associated with each of said detectors, each of said intensity images being proportional to the mean number of photons detected per unit time;
generating a plurality of correlation images associated with each combination of two of said detectors, each of said correlation images being proportional to the variance of the distribution of detected photons per unit time; and
generating the image of said sample using joint sparse recovery from said plurality of intensity and correlation images, wherein said intensity and correlation images have common support.
