	Transverse beam profile diagnostics in electron accelerators is usually based on direct imaging of a beam spot via optical radiation (transition or synchrotron radiation). In this case the fundamental resolution limit is determined by radiation diffraction in the optical system. A method to achieve resolutions beyond the diffraction limit is to perform point spread function (PSF) dominated imaging, i.e. the recorded image is dominated by the resolution function of a point source (single electron), and with knowledge of the PSF the true image (beam spot) may be reconstructed. To overcome the limited dynamical range of PSF dominated imaging, a dedicated de-focusing of the optical system can be introduced. In order to verify the applicability of this method, a proof-of-principle experiment has been performed at the Mainz Microtron MAMI (University of Mainz, Germany) using optical transition radiation. Status and results of this experiment will be presented.

Transverse beam profile diagnostics in electron accelerators is usually based on direct imaging of a beam spot via optical radiation (transition or synchrotron radiation). In this case the fundamental resolution limit is determined by radiation diffraction in the optical system. A method to achieve resolutions beyond the diffraction limit is to perform point spread function (PSF) dominated imaging, i.e. the recorded image is dominated by the resolution function of a point source (single electron), and with knowledge of the PSF the true image (beam spot) may be reconstructed. To overcome the limited dynamical range of PSF dominated imaging, a dedicated de-focusing of the optical system can be introduced. In order to verify the applicability of this method, a proof-of-principle experiment has been performed at the Mainz Microtron MAMI (University of Mainz, Germany) using optical transition radiation. Status and results of this experiment will be presented.
