Title: Taewoo Kim: Innovator in Phase Imaging Technologies

Introduction

Taewoo Kim is a prominent inventor based in Urbana, IL (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of microscopy and imaging technologies. With a total of 2 patents, his work focuses on enhancing image contrast and obtaining detailed phase images of specimens.

Latest Patents

One of Taewoo Kim's latest patents is titled "Phase derivative microscopy module having specified amplitude mask." This invention involves methods and a module designed for use with a microscope to enhance image contrast in images of phase objects. The process includes forming a transmission image of a specimen in an image plane, generating a Fourier transform in a Fourier plane, and applying an amplitude filter to the Fourier transform field. The transformed image is then processed to produce a contrast-enhanced image of the specimen.

Another notable patent is "White light diffraction tomography of unlabeled live cells." This method allows for obtaining a tomographic phase image of a specimen, either in transmission or scatter. The specimen is illuminated by a temporally incoherent source, and the collected light is used to generate a scattered phase image in multiple axial planes. The scattered field is solved in wavevector space, leading to the transformation of specimen susceptibility into a three-dimensional phase tomogram.
