Figure 1

a: Experimental LUCAS set-up illustrating the effect of diffraction on the cell shadow; (b) Single frame LUCAS image for 3T3 cells that is captured using the set-up of (a) over an ultra-wide field of view of ~10 cm2. The insets show the zoomed images of various points on the LUCAS image illustrating the diffraction signatures of individual 3T3 cells. The same figure with white dashed circles also shows the field-of-view of 10× and 5× objective-lenses. This figure demonstrates that LUCAS can monitor a field-of-view that is ~2 orders of magnitude wider than a regular optical microscope. c: A brief illustration of LUCAS imaging steps.
