1. A method for obtaining time series optical signal corresponding to an object, comprising:
(a) providing an optical system by which an object to be observed is illuminated by a structured lighting pattern, wherein the optical system comprises at least one light source providing continuous light;
(b) changing a position or an orientation of the object such that a plurality of regions of the object is sequentially illuminated by the structured lighting pattern;
(c) using at least one detector to sequentially detect at least one optical signal from said object, wherein the at least one optical signal sequentially detected by the at least one detector comprises compressed image information corresponding to the object.
