The primary goal of the Lensless Digital Holographic Microscope is to deliver a high-quality
product that is able to deliver high-resolution and high-throughput imaging using compact, portable, and
cost-effective optics to create a visible hologram for any field our product could be used in. Optics and
Photonics will be used to digitally reconstruct microscopic images without using any lenses. Our
objectives were to make it small, lightweight, portable, low-cost, lensless, and have a resolution of 300
micrometers. The optical design consists of running fiber optic cable carrying coherent light from the
LED to act as a point source Possible uses include Oil monitoring in Ocean Water (Tracking runoffs,
seeking oil sources) Air health (Bioaerosols, Pollution, Mold Spores, Bacteria) Plant health (Cell burst,
Cell Hyponatremia). Our tech is better than the current alternatives because the price point was fairly low,
and our microscope has an added portability factor.
