N2 - Microsphere-assisted imaging is a promising label- free super-resolution imaging technique. Its performance is sig- nificantly affected by the photonic nanojet (PNJ) of microspheres. Recently, a new type of curved PNJ, i.e. the photonic hook (PH), was discovered, which shows promising potential for various applications. This Letter presented a contrast-enhanced super- resolution imaging technique utilizing the PHs generated by Janus microspheres. We demonstrated that the Janus micro- spheres can be fabricated using a one-step deposition process, they exhibit superior imaging performance to pristine micro- spheres, and their field-of-view and imaging contrast can be easily adjusted by changing the coating thickness. In addition, we demonstrated that the imaging contrast of Janus microspheres can be further enhanced by using polarized illumination.
