Abstract

Programmable Aperture Light-Field Microscopy In article number 2300217, Qian Chen, Chao Zuo, and colleagues describe a computational three-dimensional (3D) microscopy technique. The proposed incoherent Fourier slice theorem describes that annular aperture modulation (foreground) can transform the captured 2D image spectrum of the observed sample into a central slice of the 3D object spectrum (background). Through tomographic reconstruction, 3D information of the sample can be high-resolution, multi-color retrieved without requiring complicated sample rotation or beam scanning.
