    Area of Science:

    • Optical Microscopy
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Accurate F-number matching between micro lens arrays (MLAs) and objective lenses is crucial for maximizing resolution in light field microscopy (LFM).
    • Existing methods often lack flexibility and are specific to single objective lenses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a versatile F-number matching method for LFM systems using an adaptable MLA.
    • To enable the use of a single elastic MLA with multiple objective lenses, improving system adaptability.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of an elastic MLA using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) via micro contact printing.
    • Application of controlled strain to the elastic MLA to precisely tune its F-number.
    • Analysis of the strain response and F-number variation characteristics of the elastic MLA.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstration of an elastic MLA capable of F-number adjustment.
    • Achieved an increase in the F-number of up to 27.3% through strain application.
    • Successful integration and demonstration of the elastic MLA within an LFM system.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed elastic MLA offers a flexible and effective solution for F-number matching in LFM.
    • This method enhances the adaptability of LFM systems, allowing compatibility with diverse objective lenses.
    • The technology holds potential for improving image quality and system versatility in light field microscopy.
