Abstract
Lensless microscopy technique enables high-resolution image recovery over a large field of view. By integrating the concept of phase retrieval, it can also retrieve the lost phase information from intensity-only measurements. Here we report a mask-modulated lensless imaging platform based on translated structured illumination. In the reported platform, we sandwich the object in-between a coded mask and a naked image sensor for lensless data acquisition. An LED array is used to provide angle-varied illumination for projecting a translated structured pattern without involving mechanical scanning. For different LED elements, we acquire the lensless intensity data for recovering the complex-valued object. In the reconstruction process, we employ the regularized ptychographic iterative engine and implement an up-sampling process in the reciprocal space. As demonstrated by experimental results, the reported platform is able to recover complex-valued object images with higher resolution and better quality than previous implementations. Our approach may provide a cost-effective solution for high-resolution and wide field-of-view ptychographic imaging without involving mechanical scanning.
