Claim Text:
1. A method for creating three dimensional images using probe molecules, comprising: mounting a sample on a stage, the sample having a plurality of probe molecules; illuminating the sample with light to cause probe luminescence; splitting the probe luminescence into multiple paths corresponding one or more detection planes corresponding to object planes in the sample; detecting the one or more detection planes as a linear array via an sCMOS (scientific complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) detector, wherein detecting the at least one or more detection planes via the sCMOS detector comprises detecting each detection plane in a different linear region of the sCMOS detector, and wherein the sCMOS detector comprises a rectangular sensor; recording the object planes in corresponding linear recording regions of interest of the sCMOS detector; and combining a signal from the regions of interest into a two or three dimensional image.
