    (A-C) Elemental (A), reconstructed FOLIC (B), and wide-field ground-truth (C) images of 15-µm fluorescent microspheres distributed in three layers. The dashed box in (A) outlines the sensor area. The arrows point to exemplary consistent features. (D-F) Reconstructed focal images by FOLIC at Δ Z 1 = 708 µm, Δ Z 2 = 837 µm, and Δ Z 3 = 963 µm, where peripheral, blend, and foveated zones were outlined. (G-I) Corresponding wide-field images at each layer, respectively. The arrows point to exemplary consistent features. Microsphere structures as narrow as ∼14 µm were consistently resolved in (F) and (I). (J) Elemental image of the central lenslet, which was employed as a mask to suppress noise and reconstruction artifacts. The green arrow indicates a pre-scaling feature displacement. (K) Corresponding wide-field images projected with 1250 axial stacks (step size = 2 µm). (L, M) Focal images of live HeLa cells embedded within a 2-mm-thick hydrogel, reconstructed by FOLIC at Δ Z 1 = 192 µm, Δ Z 2 = 966 µm. Peripheral, blend, and foveated zones were outlined. (N, O) Corresponding wide-field images at each layer, respectively. The arrows point to exemplary consistent features. (P, Q) Wide-field volume (P) and the corresponding reconstructed volume captured by FOLIC (Q), with clearly indicated foveated (red cones), blend (blue cones), and peripheral zones (single-layer view). Scale bars: 200 µm.

    Techniques:

    ( A - C ) Elemental (A), reconstructed FOLIC (B), and wide-field (C) images of a 15-μm-thick mouse kidney section labeled with WGA, featuring glycoprotein-rich regions (e.g., distal tubules). Peripheral, blend, and foveated zones were delineated. The effect of contrast adjustment was shown relative to the raw reconstruction in (B). ( D, E ) Zoomed-in images of the regions in (B, C) as marked, displaying enhanced clarity and resolution in the foveated regions compared to the blend regions. ( F, G ) Cross-sectional profiles along the dashed lines as marked in (D, E). ( H ) Brightfield elemental images of Hymenoptera ant specimens using fiber-based white-light illumination. ( I ) Zoomed-in image of the elemental image of the central lenslet in (H). ( J, K ) Reconstructed FOLIC images at Δ Z 1 = 0 µm and Δ Z 2 = 111 µm with contrast adjustment. Arrows point to features in focus. ( L ) Brightfield elemental images of Hymenoptera ant samples using cell-phone flashlight illumination. ( M, N ) Reconstructed focal images by FOLIC at Δ Z 1 = 0 µm and Δ Z 2 = 168 µm, respectively. ( O, P ) Cross-sectional profiles of the structures as marked in (M, N) at the two focal planes. ( Q ) Volumetric view of the reconstructed ant specimen containing all focal layers under ambient illumination. Scale bars: 200 µm.
