We present a fully fluidic optical system capable of performing tunable anamorphic imaging, focusing, and zooming. It features two independently tunable astigmatic liquid lenses, which are combined in a single housing. The curvatures of both lenses are controlled by electrowetting-on-dielectrics, using a total of 64 electrodes, 32 for each lens. Continuous tuning of the anamorphic ratio from 0.81 to 1.26 was demonstrated. Optical performance was evaluated using a test chart and knife edge measurements, revealing a resolution of 22.8 cy/mm in x and 39.9 cy/mm in y direction in the image plane.

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...
