Light Field Microscope

Vincent Lee & Leanna Morinishi

Introduction and Motivation

A light field microscope (LFM) is capable of producing a 3-dimensional rendering of a sample using information from a single image. The addition of a microlens array, a grid of lenses with diameters on the microscale, to a traditional illumination microscope grants this capability. Here we propose integrating a Lytro™ camera into a basic wide field and epifluorescence microscope, associated code and recommended experiments for use in a teaching undergraduate laboratory.
