QUAREP-LiMi: a community endeavor to advance quality assessment and reproducibility in light microscopy

Arne Seitz

The community-driven initiative Quality Assessment and Reproducibility for Instruments & Images in Light Microscopy (QUAREP-LiMi) wants to improve reproducibility for light microscopy image data through quality control (QC) management of instruments and im ...

Inverse design and demonstration of high-performance wide-angle diffractive optical elements

Toralf Scharf, Dong Cheon Kim

Diffractive optical elements are ultra-thin optical components required for constructing very compact optical 3D sensors. However, the required wide-angle diffractive 2D fan-out gratings have been elusive due to design challenges. Here, we introduce a new ...

Light pattern generation with hybrid refractive microoptics under Gaussian beam illumination

Toralf Scharf, Maryam Yousefi

The generation of wide-angle diffraction patterns can be done in different ways using either thin diffractive optical elements with small features sizes or arrays of microoptics with large optical paths that are thick diffractive optical elements. Our aim ...

Adjoint method and inverse design for diffractive beam splitters

Toralf Scharf, Dong Cheon Kim

Diffractive optical elements with a large diffraction angle require feature sizes down to sub-wavelength dimensions, which require a rigorous electromagnetic computational model for calculation. However, the computational optimization of these diffractive ...

Diffractive Optical Elements Investigation in the Phase Domain

Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim, Dong Cheon Kim, Michail Symeonidis

In this work we demonstrate the advantages of investigating diffractive optical elements in the phase domain. In this regime we can detect features that are not restrained by the diffraction limit and relate them to the geometrical and optical properties o ...

Transmission Microsphere-Assisted Dark-Field Microscopy

Giorgio Quaranta, Stéphane Perrin, Hongyu Li

Microsphere-assisted microscopy allows the limit of the diffraction of light to overcome while being non-invasive, full-field, label-free, and easy-to-implement. However, the observation of translucent samples remains difficult using a classical bright-fie ...

Diffractive small angle X-ray scattering imaging for anisotropic structures

Goran Lovric, Marco Stampanoni

Insights into the micro- and nano-architecture of materials is crucial for understanding and predicting their macroscopic behaviour. In particular, for emerging applications such as meta-materials, the micrometer scale becomes highly relevant. The micro-ar ...

1D moiré shapes by superposed layers of micro-lenses

Jürgen Brugger, Roger Hersch, Thomas Walger, Valentin Flauraud, Théophane Besson

Two superposed layers of transparent cylindrical lenslet gratings create classical moiré fringes, when illuminated from behind. We rely on this observation to conceive special devices made of superposed lenslet gratings that produce animated moirés when th ...
