Highly efficient multicolor multifocus microscopy by optimal design of diffraction binary gratings

Abstract Multifocus microscopy (MFM) allows sensitive and fast three-dimensional imaging. It relies on the efficient design of diffraction phase gratings yielding homogeneous intensities in desired diffraction orders. Such performances are however guaranteed only for a specific wavelength. Here, we...
