Light Field Microscope With Lenslet Array

ActiveUS20080180792A1Avoids mechanical complicationAberration correctionMicroscopesLensViewpointsImage plane
A light field microscope incorporating a lenslet array at or near the rear aperture of the objective lens. The microscope objective lens may be supplemented with an array of low power lenslets which may be located at or near the rear aperture of the objective lens, and which slightly modify the objective lens. The result is a new type of objective lens, or an addition to existing objective lenses. The lenslet array may include, for example, 9 to 100 lenslets (small, low-power lenses with long focal lengths) that generate a corresponding number of real images. Each lenslet creates a real image on the image plane, and each image corresponds to a different viewpoint or direction of the specimen. Angular information is recorded in relations or differences among the captured real images. To retrieve this angular information, one or more of various dense correspondence techniques may be used.

Enhancing the resolution of three dimensional video images formed using a light field microscope

Methods and systems are provided for enhancing the imaging resolution of three dimensional imaging using light field microscopy. A first approach enhances the imaging resolution by modeling the scattering of light that occurs in an imaging target, and using the model to account for the effects of light scattering when de-convolving the light field information to retrieve the 3-dimensional (3D) volumetric information of the imaging target. A second approach enhances the imaging resolution by using a second imaging modality such as two-photon, multi-photon, or confocal excitation microscopy to determine the locations of individual neurons, and using the known neuron locations to enhance the extraction of time series signals from the light field microscopy data.
