Abstract
Transport-of-intensity diffraction tomography (TIDT) is a recently developed label-free computational microscopy technique that retrieves high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) refractive index (RI) distribution of biological specimens from 3D intensity-only measurements. However, the non-interferometric synthetic aperture in TIDT is generally achieved sequentially through the acquisition of a large number of through-focus intensity stacks captured at different illumination angles, resulting in a very cumbersome and redundant data acquisition process. To this end, we present a parallel implementation of a synthetic aperture in TIDT (PSA-TIDT) with annular illumination. We found that the matched annular illumination provides a mirror-symmetric 3D optical transfer function, indicating the analyticity in the upper half-plane of the complex phase function, which allows for recovery of the 3D RI from a single intensity stack. We experimentally validated PSA-TIDT by conducting high-resolution tomographic imaging of various unlabeled biological samples, including human breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7), human hepatocyte carcinoma cell lines (HepG2), Henrietta Lacks (HeLa) cells, and red blood cells (RBCs).
