Abstract
A tomographic 3D imaging system includes a conic-section mirror serving as the imaging objective, a sample holder positioned to hold a sample at a focus (f) of the conic-section mirror, a light source directing light to the sample, and an array of camera sensors positioned above the conic-section mirror. In some cases, the array of camera sensors is positioned parallel to a directrix of the conic-section mirror. In some cases, the conic-section mirror is a parabolic mirror. In some cases, each camera sensor of the array of camera sensors is positioned facing the sample holder at an inclination angle dictated by a lateral position of the camera sensor according to where r is the radial entry position across the parabolic mirror.
