Aliasing, coherence, and resolution in a lensless holographic microscope.

Optics letters

Agbana TE, Gong H, Amoah AS, Bezzubik V, Verhaegen M, Vdovin G.
PMID: 28614329
Opt Lett. 2017 Jun 15;42(12):2271-2274. doi: 10.1364/OL.42.002271.

We have shown that the maximum achievable resolution of an in-line lensless holographic microscope is limited by aliasing and, for collimated illumination, cannot exceed the camera pixel size. This limit can be achieved only when the optimal conditions on...
