Figure Lengend Snippet: a , The system works in epi-fluorescence mode. A large volume within the 3D imaging range is excited simultaneously by a highly-inclined illumination and collected by the DAOSLIMIT. The inhomogeneous distribution of the refractive index in multicellular specimens produces strong spatially nonuniform aberrations at the back-pupil plane, which can be segmented for correction with adaptive optics. For illustration, light from different sub-apertures is labelled with different colours. A microlens array is inserted at the image plane for parallel acquisition of multiplexed phase-space measurements, whose resolution is further enhanced by the scanning process with a two-dimensional galvo scanning system. During reconstruction, we first realign the pixels from the raw data into the high-resolution multiplexed phase-space. Then, a mutual iterative tomography algorithm is employed to obtain the high-resolution volume with pixel-wise wavefront corrections. b , The multiplexed phase-space measurements can be synthesized for 3D reconstruction with the digital beam propagation. However, the sample-induced aberration will result in a distorted focus. We can digitally shift the sub-aperture point spread function (PSF), akin to applying a correction wavefront estimated during the volume reconstruction, to create a perfect focus. Both the spatial overlap induced by scanning and the frequency aliasing induced by the small aperture of each microlens facilitate the incoherent synthetic aperture during the 3D reconstruction, up to the diffraction limit of the whole objective’s NA.
