Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate the decoupling of complex refractive index in transport of intensity diffraction tomography (TIDT) microscopy under partially coherent illumination. Specifically, with a closed-form Tikhonov-regularized solution, this method enables the decoupling of the RI and absorption from the two through-focus intensity stacks. We compared the reconstruction performance of our proposed method with other optical diffraction tomography methods by means of numerical simulations. The results showed that our method provides RI and absorption images of 3D resolution targets with minimal artifacts. Finally, we apply the technique to imaging biological samples, e.g., the Thalassiosira diatoms, revealing the intrinsic structural diversity of the biological samples.
