We describe a wide-field interferometric surface-plasmon microscope capable of submicrometer resolution. The system is a speckle-illuminated Linnik interferometer, which behaves as a wide-field analog of a scanning heterodyne interferometer. The presented images demonstrate contrast reversals at different defocus while retaining submicrometer lateral resolution. The contrast mechanisms are discussed as well as the instrumental requirements of the technique.

Single-shot 3D optical microscopy that can capture high-resolution information over a large volume has broad applications in biology. Existing 3D imaging methods using point-spread-function (PSF) engineering often have limited depth of field (DOF) or require custom and often complex design of phase masks. We propose a new, to the best of our knowledge, PSF approach that is easy to implement and offers a large DOF.

However, artifacts commonly observed at the boundaries of reconstructed images can significantly degrade imaging quality and phase retrieval accuracy. These boundary artifacts are typically attributed to the use of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) on non-periodic images.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers are developing artificial compound eyes (CE) modeled after arthropods to improve imaging technology, but current designs have issues with defocusing when used with standard CMOS cameras.
- A new compact camera inspired by South American shrimps utilizes a deep learning method to achieve clear wide-field imaging without complex hardware, significantly simplifying its design.
- The innovative camera, weighing only 5.4g and measuring 3 x 3 cm, shows superior resolution and 3D trajectory tracking, making it suitable for applications in nano-optics, medical endoscopy, and robotics.

Background: The DNA ploidy and the S phase fraction (SPF) are associated with advanced tumors progression. The present study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological behavior of oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC) and the prognostication of the DNA ploidy and the SPF on its clinical outcomes.
Methods: This a prospective longitudinal study of 93 OSCC patients (186 specimens).
