Nick Talbot is Professor of Molecular Genetics at the University of Exeter, UK. He received his PhD at the University of East Anglia (UEA) and the John Innes Centre, and then carried out postdoctoral research at Purdue University in the USA. Nick moved to the University of Exeter as a Lecturer in 1993. His research is concerned with understanding the biology of rice blast disease, one of the mo...

The Talbot effect is usually modeled using the Helmholtz equation, but its main experimental features are captured by solution to free Schr\"odinger equation with Dirac comb as initial datum. This simplified description a consequence of paraxial approximation in geometric optics. However, it heuristic that not mathematically well justified, so K. I. Oskolkov raised problem "mathematizing" it. W...

We demonstrate a long imaging depth, multi-perspective fluorescence scanning microscopy based on Talbot effect generated from a microlens array. An object with two layers that are 155μm apart was reconstructed from different perspectives. OCIS codes: (110.1758) Computational imaging; (180.2520) Fluorescence microscopy
