Overview of the synthetic data generation method. A pair of synthetic images (ground truth) is generated, representing cells in suspension (L denotes the optical path difference and A the absorption). Using Eq. (2), the simulated intensity measurement image I is obtained for a given sample-to-sensor distance Z. The first reconstruction applied to I generates the simulated images $L_{\mathit{recons}}$ and $A_{\mathit{recons}}$. The presented images are $400\times 400$ pixels ($1.67\mathrm{\mu }\text{m}$ pitch) crops of an image with ${10}^3$ cells corresponding to a density of 358 cells/${\text{mm}}^2$.
