Optofluidic microscopy—a method for implementing a high resolution optical microscope on a chip

Xin Heng, David Erickson, L. Ryan Baugh, Zahid Yaqoob, Paul W. Sternberg, Demetri Psaltis and Changhuei Yang

We report a novel microfluidics-based lensless imaging technique, termed optofluidic microscopy (OFM), and demonstrate Caenorhabditis elegans imaging with an OFM prototype that gives comparable resolution to a conventional microscope and a measured resolution limit of 490 ± 40 nm.
