We demonstrate a common-path tomographic diffractive microscopy technique for three-dimensional (3D) refractive-index (RI) imaging of unstained living cells. A diffraction grating is utilized to generate a reference beam that traverses a blank region of the sample in a common-path off-axis interferometry setup. Single-shot phase images captured at multiple illumination angles are used for 3D RI reconstruction based on optical diffraction tomography. The common-path configuration shows lower temporal phase fluctuations and better RI resolution than a Mach-Zehnder configuration. 3D subcellular RI distributions of live HeLa cells are quantified.

Superimposed Wavefront Imaging of Diffraction-enhanced X-rays: sparsity-aware CT reconstruction from limited-view projections.

Purpose: In this paper, we describe an algebraic reconstruction algorithm with a total variation regularization (ART + TV) based on the Superimposed Wavefront Imaging of Diffraction-enhanced X-rays (SWIDeX) method to effectively reduce the number of projections required for differential phase-contrast CT reconstruction.
Methods: SWIDeX is a technique that uses a Laue-case Si analyzer with closely spaced scintillator to generate second derivative phase-contrast images with high contrast of a subject. When the projections obtained by this technique are reconstructed, a Laplacian phase-contrast tomographic image with higher sparsity than the original physical distribution of the subject can be obtained.

Nevertheless, the inherent coherent image formation model requires sequential intensity measurements under various plane wave illuminations, resulting in time-consuming data acquisition and low imaging speed. In this Letter, we propose differential phase contrast intensity diffraction tomography (DPC-IDT), which leverages partially coherent illumination to extend the accessible spectrum range, thereby achieving high-speed, motion-free 3D tomographic microscopy.

Article Synopsis
- - The study developed a snapshot computed tomographic microscopic imaging spectrometer (CTMIS) to improve the speed and efficiency of spectral imaging compared to conventional methods, which take longer to scan across wavelengths or spatial dimensions.
- - Using the CTMIS-UNET algorithm, researchers reconstructed high-resolution spectral data (541x541x26) from micro spectral imaging videos, achieving resolutions of under 4 μm spatially and better than 10 nm spectrally, with high accuracy in comparison to ground truth data.
- - The system successfully captured images of various algae species in under 10 ms, with a pixel-level recognition accuracy over 95% and cell counting accuracy over 85%, providing a powerful tool for real-time monitoring of harmful alg
Extraction of Molecular-Frame Electron-Ion Differential Scattering Cross Sections Based on Elliptical Laser-Induced Electron Diffraction.

We extracted the molecular-frame elastic differential cross sections (MFDCSs) for electrons scattering from N_{2}^{+} based on elliptical laser-induced electron diffraction (ELIED), wherein the structural evolution is initialized by the same tunneling ionization and probed by incident angle-resolved laser-induced electron diffraction imaging. To establish ELIED, an intuitive interpretation of the ellipticity-dependent rescattering electron momentum distributions was first provided by analyzing the transverse momentum distribution. It was shown that the incident angle of the laser-induced returning electrons could be tuned within 20° by varying the ellipticity and handedness of the driving laser pulses.
