Computational three-dimensional fluorescence imaging through scattering media by the transport of intensity equation

Osamu Matoba, Kobe University (Japan)

Computational optical imaging is applied in biology and neuroscience because of its ability to rapidly acquire the activity of multiple objects that exist in three dimensions with a wide field of view. We have been developing 3D fluorescence imaging techniques by combining quantitative phase imaging based on digital holography or the transport of intensity equations, with numerical propagation calculations. In particular, overcoming scattering is essential for future research to achieve deep observation in biological tissues. In this presentation, we will introduce 3D fluorescence imaging, photon counting imaging, and imaging through scattering medium using computational optical imaging.

Osamu Matoba received the Ph.D. degree in Applied Physics from Osaka University, Japan, in 1996. He was Assistant Professor at Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo, from 1996 to 2002. From 2002 to 2009, he was an Associate Professor in the department of computer science and systems engineering in Kobe University. He is now a Professor in the Center of Optical Scattering Image Science, Kobe University.
His interests are in computational optical imaging such as digital holography and the transport of intensity equation, holographic applications to neuroscience and biology. Dr. Matoba is Fellows of SPIE and OPTICA.

 

This keynote is part of the Three-Dimensional Imaging, Visualization, and Display conference.
