Abstract

A method for obtaining an image of a sample includes illuminating the sample using a light source; acquiring, using an image sensor, a first image of the sample, the image being formed in the detection plane, the first image being representative of an exposure light wave propagating, from the sample, to the image sensor, along a first optical path; modifying an optical refractive index, between the image sensor and the sample; acquiring a second image of the sample, the image being representative of the exposure light wave along a second optical path; and implementing an iterative algorithm that combines the first and second images so as to obtain an image of the sample.
