With the aid of computational techniques based on the physics of light, biomedical microscopy and imaging can be significantly enhanced relative to conventional microscopic methods. We discuss here several approaches that we have used to convert conventional cell phones and cell phone image sensors into high-performance microscopic imaging tools where images are computationally reconstructed from raw data. Like conventional microscopes, these new tools provide sub-micron resolution that can be used to differentiate normal from abnormal cells in tissue and blood samples, and have high enough sensitivity to detect single viruses and nanoparticles. Beyond the capabilities of conventional microscopes, these computational approaches also provide the additional advantages of an ultra-large field of view, low cost, ease of portability, and the potential for easy connectivity for telemedicine. One particular set of results we will highlight is the detection and imaging of single viruses and nanoparticles smaller than 50 nm over a field of view of 4 mm x 5 mm using self-assembled liquid nanolenses.
