Abstract

This paper presents the Pixel Super Resolution with Axial Scanning (PSR-AS) technique to enhance the resolution of Lensless Digital In-line Holographic Microscopy (LDHM). By utilizing multiple holograms captured at different axial distances, PSR allows for the recovery of high-resolution information, improving the image clarity and information content. Experimental results demonstrate a twofold lateral resolution enhancement, achieving the resolution of 1.23 μm in amplitude imaging and significantly augmenting phase reconstruction quality. The integration of PSR-AS into LDHM systems leads to notable reductions in noise and artifacts, offering a promising approach for high-resolution imaging in applications such as biomedical diagnostics and environmental monitoring.
