Abstract

A method for obtaining a Fourier ptychography image using a smartphone comprises the steps of: (a) sequentially providing illumination of different angles to the sample by sequentially displaying, according to a first pattern composed of point light sources at different positions, the point light sources of the first pattern on a display of the smartphone; (b) obtaining an image for each illumination angle of the sample using a camera of the smartphone whenever illumination of different angles is provided by the point light sources of the first pattern; and (c) restoring a first Fourier ptychography image using a plurality of images for each illumination angle obtained using the camera of the smartphone.
