Microscopy Arrangements and Approaches

Light-field microscopy is facilitated using an approach to image computation. In connection with an example embodiment, a subject (e.g., 105 ) is imaged by passing light from the subject through a microlens array (e.g., 120) to a photosensor array (e.g., 130 ) to simultaneously detect light from the...

Summary:Light-field microscopy is facilitated using an approach to image computation. In connection with an example embodiment, a subject (e.g., 105 ) is imaged by passing light from the subject through a microlens array (e.g., 120) to a photosensor array (e.g., 130 ) to simultaneously detect light from the subject that is passed through different directions to different locations. In certain embodiments, information from the detected light is used to compute refocused images, perspective images and/or volumetric datasets, from a single-shot photograph.
