Abstract

Three-dimensional single-pixel imaging (3D SPI) has become an attractive imaging modality for both biomedical research and optical sensing. 3D-SPI techniques generally depend on time-of-flight or stereovision principle to extract depth information from backscattered light. However, existing implementations for these two optical schemes are limited to surface mapping of 3D objects at depth resolutions, at best, at the millimeter level. Here, we report 3D light-field illumination single-pixel microscopy (3D-LFI-SPM) that enables volumetric imaging of microscopic objects with a near-diffraction-limit 3D optical resolution. Aimed at 3D space reconstruction, 3D-LFI-SPM optically samples the 3D Fourier spectrum by combining 3D structured light-field illumination with single-element intensity detection. We build a 3D-LFI-SPM prototype that provides an imaging volume of ∼390 × 390 × 3,800 μm3 and achieves 2.7-μm lateral resolution and better than 37-μm axial resolution. Its capability of 3D visualization of label-free optical absorption contrast is demonstrated by imaging single algal cells in vivo. Our approach opens broad perspectives for 3D SPI with potential applications in various fields, such as biomedical functional imaging.
