Concept, implementations and applications of Fourier ptychography
Abstract
The competition between resolution and the imaging field of view is a long-standing problem in traditional imaging systems — they can produce either an image of a small area with fine details or an image of a large area with coarse details. Fourier ptychography (FP) is an approach for tackling this intrinsic trade-off in imaging systems. It takes the challenge of high-throughput and high-resolution imaging from the domain of improving the physical limitations of optics to the domain of computation. It also enables post-measurement computational correction of optical aberrations. We present the basic concept of FP, compare it to related imaging modalities and then discuss experimental implementations, such as aperture-scanning FP, macroscopic camera-scanning FP, reflection mode, single-shot set-up, X-ray FP, speckle-scanning scheme and deep-learning-related implementations. Various applications of FP are discussed, including quantitative phase imaging in 2D and 3D, digital pathology, high-throughput cytometry, aberration metrology, long-range imaging and coherent X-ray nanoscopy. A collection of datasets and reconstruction codes is provided for readers interested in implementing FP themselves.
