Marker-free phase nanoscopy

Christian Depeursinge, Pierre Marquet, Pierre Magistretti, Nicolas Pavillon, Pascal Jourdain, Daniel Boss, Yann Jérôme Michel Pascal Cotte, Muhammed Fatih Toy

We introduce a microscopic method that determines quantitative optical properties beyond the optical diffraction limit and allows direct imaging of unstained living biological specimens. In established holographic microscopy, complex fields are measured us ...

Resolution and Complex Deconvolution in Holographic Microscopy

Yann Jérôme Michel Pascal Cotte

Interest in high resolution imaging techniques has recently multiplied due to their importance in bio-medical research. Quantitative phase measurements by holographic microscopy is an extraordinary tool to gain new understanding of transparent biological s ...

Beyond the lateral resolution limit by phase imaging

Christian Depeursinge, Yann Jérôme Michel Pascal Cotte, Muhammed Fatih Toy

We present a theory to extend the classical Abbe resolution limit by introducing a spatially varying phase into the illumination beam of a phase imaging system. It allows measuring lateral and axial distance differences between point sources to a higher ac ...

Complex index refraction tomography with sub ?/6-resolution

Christian Depeursinge, Nicolas Pavillon, Yann Jérôme Michel Pascal Cotte

The present invention discloses a method to improve the image resolution of a microscope. This improvement is based on the mathematical processing of the complex field computed from the measurements with a microscope of the wave emitted or scattered by the ...

Realistic 3D coherent transfer function inverse filtering of complex fields

Christian Depeursinge, Daniel Boss, Cristian Arfire, Yann Jérôme Michel Pascal Cotte, Muhammed Fatih Toy, Shanshan Kou

We present a novel technique for three-dimensional (3D) image processing of complex fields. It consists in inverting the coherent image formation by filtering the complex spectrum with a realistic 3D coherent transfer function (CTF) of a high-NA digital ho ...

Microscopy image resolution improvement by deconvolution of complex fields

Christian Depeursinge, Nicolas Pavillon, Yann Jérôme Michel Pascal Cotte, Muhammed Fatih Toy

Based on truncated inverse filtering, a theory for deconvolution of complex fields is studied. The validity of the theory is verified by comparing with experimental data from digital holographic microscopy (DHM) using a high-NA system (NA=0.95). Comparison ...

Sub-Rayleigh resolution by phase imaging

Christian Depeursinge, Nicolas Pavillon, Etienne Shaffer, Yann Jérôme Michel Pascal Cotte, Muhammed Fatih Toy

We report the experimental observation of systematically occurring phase singularities in coherent imaging of sub-Rayleigh distanced objects. A theory that relates the observation to the sub-Rayleigh distance is presented and compared with experimental mea ...
