A New Method to Retrieve the Three-Dimensional Refractive Index and Specimen Size Using the Transport Intensity Equation, Taking Diffraction into Account

Refractive index retrieval is possible using the transport intensity equation (TIE), which presents advantages over interferometric techniques. The TIE method is valid only for paraxial ray assumptions. However, diffraction can nullify these TIE model assumptions. Therefore, the refractive index is...
