  • Wide-field lensless fluorescent imaging on a chip
    Patent number: 9331113
    Abstract: An imaging device uses a fiber optic faceplate (FOF) with a compressive sampling algorithm for the fluorescent imaging of a sample over an large field-of-view without the need for any lenses or mechanical scanning. The imaging device includes a sample holder configured to hold a sample and a prism or hemispherical glass surface disposed adjacent the sample holder on a side opposite the lower surface of the sample holder. A light source is configured to illuminate the sample via the prism or the hemispherical surface, wherein substantially all of the light is subject to total internal reflection at the lower surface of the sample holder. The FOF is disposed adjacent to the lower surface of the sample holder, the fiber optic array having an input side and an output side. The device includes an imaging sensor array disposed adjacent to the output side of the fiber optic array.
