The invention relates to an imaging device and method, in particular to a super-resolution array virtual structure light lighting imaging device and method, and aims to solve the problem that microscopic imaging technology can only measure thin biological samples, thereby being low in measuring efficiency in the prior art.The device comprises an LED light source 1, a collimating beam expander 2, a scanning system 3, a micro lens array 4, a collimating lens 5, a beam splitting prism 7, a one-fourth wave plate 9, a lighting object lens 10, a sample 11, a collection lens 6 and a CCD (charge coupled device) detector 8.Detection light spots obtained by scanning of each time are directly stacked on the mirror surface to obtain primary detection data, scanning different in phase lighting is performed in each direction, and super-resolution images are obtained through image reconstruction.The super-resolution array virtual structure light lighting imaging device and method expands spatial frequency domain bandwidth and is suitable for the measuring field of industrial shape and thick biological sample imaging.
