Development towards a robust low-cost Fourier Ptychographic microscope: For the detection of malaria parasites

This thesis discusses developments towards a low-cost Fourier Ptychographic microscope for label free imaging of malaria parasites.<br/>A review of the morphology and life cycle of malaria and the main diagnostic methods for its detection is followed by an introduction to Fourier Ptychography with emphasis on the underlying imaging principles...

Automatic Differentiation based Multi-Mode Ptychography: A flexible and highly efficient lensless imaging algorithm

The scientific community recognizes the critical role played by ptychography in nanoscale imaging. Compared with the conventional imaging, which has high requirements on the manufacturing of optical elements, ptychography, as a computational imaging technique, uses a set of measured intensities of the diffraction patterns to reconstruct the...
