A new approach for microstructure imaging

A recurring issue with microstructure studies is specimen lighting. In particular, microscope lighting must be deployed in such a way as to highlight biological elements without enhancing caustic effects and diffraction. We describe here a high frequency technique due to address this lighting issue. First, an extensive study is undertaken concerning asymptotic equations in order to identify the most promising algorithm for 3D microstructure analysis. Ultimately, models based on virtual light rays are discarded in favor of a model that considers the joint computation of phase and irradiance. This paper maintains the essential goal of the study concerning biological microstructures but offers several supplementary notes on computational details which provide perspectives on analyses of the arrangements of numerous objects in biological tissues.
