Superresolution digital holographic microscopy for three-dimensional samples.

چکیده
An approach that allows superresolution imaging of three-dimensional (3-D) samples by numerical refocusing is presented in the field of digital holographic microscopy. Based on the object's spectrum shift produced by tilted illumination, we present a time multiplexing superresolved approach to overcome the Abbe's diffraction limit. The proposed approach uses a microscope in a Mach-Zehnder interferometric architecture with the particularity that the output plane does not coincide with the image plane. Thus, a set of off-axis non-image plane holograms are sequentially recorded for every tilted beam used in the illumination stage. After that and by using simple digital post-processing and numerical reconstruction, a 3-D superresolved sample volume is reconstructed slice-by- slice in terms of the definition of a synthetic aperture (SA) that expands the cutoff frequency of the microscope lens. Experimental results showing the capabilities of the proposed approach are presented.

Scanning holographic microscopy with resolution exceeding the Rayleigh limit of the objective by superposition of off-axis holograms.
We present what we believe to be a new application of scanning holographic microscopy to superresolution. Spatial resolution exceeding the Rayleigh limit of the objective is obtained by digital coherent addition of the reconstructions of several off-axis Fresnel holograms. Superresolution by holographic superposition and synthetic aperture has a long history, which is briefly reviewed. The meth...
