Abstract:
A speckle image formed by scattering lights can be decoded by recently invented techniques, owing to the optical memory effect, thereby enabling the observation of a hidden object behind a thin scattering medium. However, the range of three-dimensional OME is typically small; therefore, both the field of view and depth of field are limited. We propose a method that can significantly and simultaneously improve both values for a specific scenario, where one object moves around the other position-fixed object. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated through a set of experiments.

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...
