  Imaging inside scattering media at optical resolution is a longstanding
challenge affecting multiple fields, from bio-medicine to astronomy. In recent
years, several groundbreaking techniques for imaging inside scattering media,
in particular scattering-matrix based approaches, have shown great promise, but
usually suffer from a restricted field of view (FOV) due to their reliance on
the optical 'memory-effect'. Here, we demonstrate that by combining
acousto-optic spatial-gating with state-of-the-art matrix-based imaging
techniques, diffraction-limited imaging beyond the optical memory-effect can be
achieved in a robust fashion. Specifically, we show that this can be achieved
by computational processing of scattered light fields captured under scanned
acousto-optic modulation. The approach can be directly utilized whenever the
ultrasound focus size is of the order of the memory-effect range, independently
of the scattering angle.
