Optical single-pixel volumetric imaging by three-dimensional light-field illumination
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Three-dimensional single-pixel imaging (3D SPI) has become an attractive imaging modality for both biomedical research and optical sensing. 3D-SPI techniques generally depend on time-of-flight or stereovision principle to extract depth information from backscattered light. However, existing implementations for these two optical schemes are limited to surface mapping of 3D objects at depth resolutions, at best, at the millimeter level. Here, we report 3D light-field illumination single-pixel microscopy (3D-LFI-SPM) that enables volumetric imaging of microscopic objects with a near-diffraction-limit 3D optical resolution. Aimed at 3D space reconstruction, 3D-LFI-SPM optically samples the 3D Fourier spectrum by combining 3D structured light-field illumination with single-element intensity detection. We build a 3D-LFI-SPM prototype that provides an imaging volume of ∼390 × 390 × 3,800 μm 3 and achieves 2.7-μm lateral resolution and better than 37-μm axial resolution. Its capability of 3D visualization of label-free optical absorption contrast is demonstrated by imaging single algal cells in vivo. Our approach opens broad perspectives for 3D SPI with potential applications in various fields, such as biomedical functional imaging.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
