Full-field imaging through scattering media is fraught with many challenges. Despite many achievements in recent years, current imaging methods are too slow to deal with fast dynamics that occur for example in biomedical imaging. Here we…

Purpose: The objective of this work is to introduce an advanced framework designed to enhance ultrasound images, especially those captured by portable hand-held devices, which often produce lower quality images due to hardware constraints.…

Accessing the low-energy non-equilibrium dynamics of materials and their polaritons with simultaneous high spatial and temporal resolution has been a bold frontier of electron microscopy in recent years. One of the main challenges lies in…

Lenses that can collect the perfect image of an object must restore propagative and evanescent waves. However, for efficient information transfer, e.g., in compressed sensing, it is often desirable to detect only the fast spatial variations…
