This thesis focuses on implementing the Fourier Ptychography Microscopy (FPM) technique using Ultra-violet (UV) and infrared (IR) light.
In this report, the introduction provides a brief overview of FPM, its history, and the motivation for using UV and IR light.
Chapter 2 explains the foundational knowledge required for understanding the FPM algorithm, including plane waves, object light fields, and imaging system.
Chapter 3 presents a detailed description of the FPM algorithm, and the FPM model is presented in detail. This chapter also provides an in-depth analysis of each step involved in the FPM algorithm to recover a high-resolution image, including the algorithms to correct uncertainties in the practical setup and reduce background noise.
In Chapter 4, all methods employed in this thesis to implement FPM with UV and IR light are presented. This chapter describes our software, firmware, and hardware, which are combined to make the system work well. The chapter also includes the proposed recovery process. The samples that are used in experiments are described as well.
Chapter 5 presents the results of implementing FPM with UV and IR light, followed by a comprehensive discussion of the outcomes.
Chapter 6 discusses the challenges encountered during the implementation of FPM with UV and IR light. Chapter 6 also offers recommendations for future research.
Finally, Chapter 7 summarizes the thesis and its findings, providing suggestions for future research.
In the Appendix, we present the conference paper that was submitted during thesis work, the custom drive electronics design, the firmware coding, the software coding, and the recovery process programming, which are used to implement FPM with UV and IR light.
Overall, this thesis offers valuable insights into the potential applications of FPM with UV and IR light and provides a foundation for future research in this area.
