Coordinate-based neural representations for computational adaptive optics in widefield microscopy
July 2023 • Iksung Kang, Qinrong Zhang, Stella X. Yu, Na Ji
Widefield microscopy is widely used for non-invasive imaging of biological structures at subcellular resolution. When applied to complex specimen, its image quality is degraded by sample-induced optical aberration. Adaptive optics can correct wavefront distortion and restore diffraction-limited resolution but require wavefront sensing and corrective devices, increasing system complexity and cost. Here, we describe a self-supervised machine learning algorithm, CoCoA, that performs joint wavefront estimation and thr…
