Abstract
The defocused weak-object transfer function of a partially coherent bright-field microscope is calculated. For weak defocus, this can be expressed analytically. Use of this transfer function for phase restoration (quantitative phase retrieval) from images of weak mixed phase-amplitude objects is discussed.
