Scatter-plate microscopy (SPM) is a lensless imaging technique for high-resolution imaging through scattering media. So far, the method was demonstrated for spatially incoherent illumination and static scattering media. In this publication, we demonstrate that these restrictions are not necessary. We realized imaging with spatially coherent and spatially incoherent illumination. We further demonstrate that SPM is still a valid imaging method for scatter-plates, which change their scattering behaviour (i.e. the phase-shift) at each position on the plate continuously but independently from other positions. Especially we realized imaging through rotating ground glass diffusers.

Based on the optical memory effect of scattered light, we developed a new single-pixel camera concept. The retrieved images contain both 3D and spectral information about the sample. A spatial light modulator (SLM) generates a random intensity modulation.

We investigated the capabilities of deconvolution for image enhancement in scatter-plate microscopy. This lensless imaging technique enables the investigation of microstructures through scattering media by cross-correlating the scattered light intensity with a previously recorded point spread function (PSF) of the scattering medium. The autocorrelation function of the PSF appears as the transfer function of the imaging process.

Scattering media have always been looked upon as an obstacle in imaging. Various methods, ranging from holography to phase compensation as well as to correlation techniques, have been proposed to cope with this obstacle. We, on the other hand, have a different understanding about the role of the diffusing media.
