Extended Data Fig. 1: Reconstruction of Diatom Algae acquired by mIDT.

(a) 2D rendering obtained by accumulating all the z slices from DeCAF. Scale bar 10 μm. (b) & (d) Lateral views corresponding to the colored lines in (a). (c) & (e) Axial views at z ∈ {11, 0, 11} μm reconstructed by using DeCAF and Tikhonov, respectively. This figure illustrates the ability of DeCAF to reconstruct high-contrast RI maps for a relatively thin sample acquired by mIDT. Note how DeCAF successfully recovers the folding structure of the sample with two clear separate layers, which are barely recognizable in the Tikhonov reconstruction. Additional examples are shown in Supplementary Videos diatom-midt-decaf.mov and diatom-midt-tikhonov.mov.
