Aliasing mitigation in optical microscopy of dynamic biological samples by use of temporally modulated color illumination and a standard RGB camera

Significance: Despite recent developments in microscopy, temporal aliasing can arise when imaging dynamic samples. Modern sampling frameworks, such as generalized sampling, mitigate aliasing but require measurement of temporally overlapping and potentially negative-valued inner products. Conventional cameras cannot collect these directly as they operate sequentially and are only sensitive to light intensity.
