Abstract

We present a snapshot 3D fluorescence microscopy technique that extracts depth from defocus by exploiting caustics generated when spherical aberration is intentionally introduced in a high-numerical aperture microscope. The snapshot acquisition reduces the imaging time and the risk of phototoxicity associated with scanning based methods.
