An efficient phase and object estimation scheme for phase-diversity time series data

Abstract:
We present a two-stage method for obtaining both phase and object estimates from phase-diversity time series data. In the first stage, the phases are estimated for each time frame using the limited memory BFGS method. In the second stage, an algorithm that incorporates a nonnegativity constraint as well as prior knowledge of data noise statistics is used to obtain an estimate of the object being observed. The approach is tested on real phase-diversity data with 32 time frames, and a comparison is made between it and a previously developed approach. Also, the image deblurring algorithm in stage two is tested against other standard methods and is shown to be the best for our problem.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
