Projection and Diffraction Tomography of Particles in a Trap

Abstract: Tomographic imaging of particles in a trap is a recent research topic in microscopy. There a particle is moved by tweezers for tomographic imaging. Mathematically, this results in a tomographic imaging problem with irregular movement. Typically the problem is split up into two problems: The first is motion detection and the second is 3D tomographic imaging. We consider motion detection based on optical projection imaging and 3D tomographic imaging based on a diffraction forward model. Open problems and relations to mathematical problems in Cryo imaging are discussed.
