Light Field Microscopy
First Proposal
Here is the link to our proposal.
Literature Search
Light field imaging allows for the capture of the light field of a sample in a single photograph.[1] This has been recently commercialized in the Lytro Camera[2] which obtains a light field using a microlens and allows for processing of the image afterwards.They also documented their setup in more detail in a technical memo.[4]
Introduction to LFDisplay.[5]
Light field rendering.[6]
In 2009, the group published a better quality machine 4D Microscopy[7]
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 [6] but has been implemented into prototype microscopes in the past 7 years
