Abstract:
Ptychography is an enabling microscopy technique for both fundamental
and applied sciences. In the past decade, it has become an indispensable imaging tool in most X-ray synchrotrons and national
laboratories worldwide. However, ptychography’s limited resolution and throughput in the visible light regime have prevented
its wide adoption in biomedical research. Recent developments in this technique have resolved these issues and offer turnkey solutions for
high-throughput optical imaging with minimum hardware modifications. The demonstrated imaging throughput is now greater than that of a
high-end whole slide scanner. In this review, we discuss the basic principle of ptychography and summarize the main milestones of its
development. Different ptychographic implementations are categorized into four groups based on their lensless/lens-based configurations and
coded-illumination/coded-detection operations. We also highlight the related biomedical applications, including digital pathology, drug
screening, urinalysis, blood analysis, cytometric analysis, rare cell screening, cell culture monitoring, cell and tissue imaging in 2D and
3D, polarimetric analysis, among others. Ptychography for high-throughput optical imaging, currently in its early stages, will
continue to improve in performance and expand in its applications. We conclude this review article by pointing out several directions for
its future development.
