Revolutionary Single-Pixel Technology Enables 3D Imaging of Living Cells

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking three-dimensional single-pixel imaging (3D-SPI) technique based on 3D light-field illumination, enabling high-resolution imaging of microscopic objects. This approach has the potential to revolutionize the visualization of biological absorption contrasts, cell morphology, and growth, opening up new opportunities in biomedical research and optical sensing. The researchers demonstrated the capability of 3D visualization of label-free optical absorption contrast by imaging single algal cells in vivo.
