The propagation of X-ray waves through an optical system consisting of many X-ray refractive lenses is considered. For solving the problem for an electromagnetic wave, a finite-difference method is applied. The error of simulation is analytically estimated and investigated. It was found that a very detailed difference grid is required for reliable and accurate calculations of the propagation of X-ray waves through a multi-lens system. The reasons for using a very detailed difference grid are investigated. It was shown that the wave phase becomes a function, very quickly increasing with increasing distance from the optical axis, after the wave has passed through the multi-lens system. If the phase is a quickly increasing function of the coordinates perpendicular to the optical axis, then the electric field of the wave is a quickly oscillating function of these coordinates, and thus a very detailed difference grid becomes necessary to describe such a wavefield. To avoid this difficulty, an equation for the phase function is proposed as an alternative to the equation of the electric field. This allows reliable and accurate simulations to be carried out when using the multi-lens system. An equation for the phase function is derived and used for accurate simulations. The numerical error of the suggested method is estimated. It is shown that the equation for the phase function allows efficient simulations to be fulfilled for the multi-lens system.

Structured light 3D imaging systems commonly employ panel-based projectors or 1-axis MEMS mirrors with beam expander lens to project multi-frame barcodes or dot clouds, addressing challenges posed by objects with multi-scale feature sizes. However, these methods often result in large system volumes due to the required projection multi-lens modules, high hardware costs, or limited light pattern generation capabilities that hindering measurement precision enhancement. This paper introduces an innovative approach to reconfigurable spatial light pattern projection using a single bi-axial MEMS mirror with Lissajous scanning.

- Autonomous migration is crucial for immune cell function and has significant implications for various diseases.
- ComplexEye is a new high-throughput microscope that allows for efficient analysis of cell migration in standard 96- and 384-well plates.
- This system dramatically speeds up the process of screening for compounds that affect neutrophil migration, completing in 4 days what would typically take 60 days with standard methods.
A uniform illumination over a screen is crucial for terahertz imaging. As such, conversion from a Gaussian beam to a flattop beam becomes necessary. Most of the current beam conversion techniques rely on bulky multi-lens systems for collimated input and operate in the far-field.

Generally, the nominal value of the refractive index at a given wavelength must be known before resolving the geometric thickness of multi-lens using conventional methods, which leads to inaccurate and inconvenient measurements. We propose a method to simultaneously measure the refractive index and surface spacing in multi-lens system based on dual-comb ranging method.

Despite recent works have shown the potential of this methodology to design optics, its performance in physical setups is still limited and affected by manufacturing artefacts of DOE, mismatch between simulated and resultant experimental point spread functions, and calibration errors. Additionally, the computational burden of the digital differentiable model to effectively design the DOE is increasing, thus limiting the size of the DOE that can be designed.
