Abstract
Provided is a high-resolution reflection tomographic imaging system and method. The high-resolution reflection tomographic imaging system of the present disclosure may include an objective lens, a tube lens, a camera, an illumination element configured to introduce temporally coherent and spatially incoherent light, and a semi-reflective surface element configured to split the light into a sample and a reference beam between the tube lens and the camera, such that a sample beam from the sample and the reference beam cause interference for tomographic imaging.
Claims11
A high-resolution reflection tomographic imaging system with an objective lens, a tube lens, and a camera, comprising:
- an illumination element configured to introduce temporally coherent and spatially incoherent light;
- and
- a semi-reflective surface element configured to split the light into a sample and a reference beam between the tube lens and the camera, such that a sample beam from the sample and the reference beam cause interference for tomographic imaging.
A high-resolution reflection tomographic imaging system comprising:
- a microscope device comprising an objective lens and a tube lens, and formed with a camera port;
- and
- a camera device comprising a camera and attachable to the camera port,
- wherein the camera device further comprises:
- an illumination element configured to introduce temporally coherent and spatially incoherent light;
- and
- a semi-reflective surface element configured to split the light into a sample and a reference beam between the tube lens and the camera, such that a sample beam from the sample and the reference beam cause interference for tomographic imaging.
An operating method of a high-resolution reflection tomographic imaging system with an objective lens, a tube lens, and a camera, the method comprising:
- introducing, by an illumination element, temporally coherent and spatially incoherent light;
- splitting, by a semi-reflective surface element between the tube lens and the camera, the light into a sample and a reference beam;
- and
- acquiring, by the camera, a three-dimensional (3D) image for tomographic imaging based on interference caused by a sample beam from the sample and the reference beam.
