Light Field Microscopy

Here is the link to our proposal.

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.
Light Field Microscope Diagram from the Stanford 2006 paper.[3]

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]

Objective

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
