A compact, single-shot, assumption-free microscopy technique based on reciprocal diffractive imaging has been developed to overcome the shortcomings of previous non-interferometric quantitative phase imaging approaches. The proposed method demonstrates the feasibility of reconstructing the holographic information of general specimens using only a simple mask without a reference beam and reveals a single-shot capability by imaging dynamic biological cells.
