High-throughput lensless whole slide imaging via continuous height-varying modulation of tilted sensor [PDF]

, 2021
We report a new lensless microscopy configuration by integrating the concepts of transverse translational ptychography and defocus multi-height phase retrieval. In this approach, we place a tilted image sensor under the specimen for linearly-increasing phase modulation along one lateral direction.
