Introduction to Fourier Ptychography: Part I

Fourier ptychography is an emerging computational microscopy technique that can generate gigapixel-scale images of biological samples. With only the addition of a low-cost LED array to a standard digital microscope and a reconstruction algorithm, Fourier ptychography overcomes the fundamental trade-off between a microscope's resolution and field-of-view without any moving parts. This article is the first in a three-part series that aims to introduce the fundamentals of the technology to the broader microscopy community and beyond, using intuitive explanations.
