Real-time three-dimensional imaging of macroscopic structures

J Microsc. 1998 Aug;191(2):116-118. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-2818.1998.00403.x.

Abstract

We describe an extremely simple method of obtaining optically sectioned images with conventional low-power imaging systems in real time. A single spatial frequency grid pattern is projected onto an object. Images taken at three spatial positions of the grid projection are processed to provide 3D images of macroscopic structures.
