Patent attributes
A ptychography system is presented for imaging an object located in an object plane. The ptychography system comprises an optical system, and a detection device. The optical system comprises a single shot ptychography arrangement configured and operable to create light response patterns from the object in the object plane on a pixel matrix of the detection device during the same exposure session of the detection device, wherein the optical system further comprises at least one light coding device configured and operable to apply at least one predetermined coding function to at least one of illuminating light and the light response of the object being collected, and said detection device is configured and operable with a predetermined duration of the exposure session during which the pixel matrix detects the collected light, such that image data indicative of the detected light during a single exposure session is in the form of a coded light response of the object being illuminated.
