| − | Light field imaging allows for the capture of the light field of a sample in a single photograph.<ref>[http://graphics.stanford.edu/software/LFDisplay/lfmintro.pdf A practical introduction to light field microscopy - Stanford 2010 (pdf)]</ref> This has been recently commercialized in the [http://www.lytro.com/living-pictures/1699 Lytro Camera]<ref>[http://graphics.stanford.edu/papers/lfcamera/ Light field camera]</ref> which obtains a light field using a microlens and allows for processing of the image afterwards.[[File:LightFieldMic.png|thumb|Light Field Microscope Diagram from the Stanford 2006 paper.<ref>[http://graphics.stanford.edu/papers/lfmicroscope/levoy-lfmicroscope-sig06.pdf Light field microscopy - Stanford 2006 (pdf)]</ref>]]

| − | == Objectives ==
| |
| − | I would be thrilled to work on this project for a number of reasons:
| |
| − | * It will force me to work on image processing, I am novice status :p
| |
| − | * It would be an awesome project
| |
| − | * It is '''feasible'''
| |
| − | ** Only one additional physical component in a traditional bright field microscope
| |
| − | ** Lots of code
| |
| − | * It is '''relevant'''
| |
| − | ** This microscope can be used to compose a 3-dimensional image of the sample
| |
| − | ** Taking 3-dimensional images quickly is a current point of interest in microscopy today
| |
| − | * It is '''novel'''
| |
| − | ** With respect to this class, this is a novel project
| |
| − | ** Otherwise, this is not a new technology <ref name="Ref1996"/> but has been implemented into prototype microscopes in the past 7 years
