Claim 20:
21. A kit for a microscope, wherein said microscope is a microscope for quantitative measurements of the wavefront that comprises:
an illumination mechanism for the illumination of a sample;
a microscope objective lens configured and arranged to receive and focus the light scattered by the sample when illuminated by said illumination mechanism;
an ordered two-dimensional arrangement of lenses located at the aperture diaphragm of said microscope objective lens or at the location of an intermediate image thereof;
an image sensor formed by a plurality of photodetector elements, located at a capture space on the focal plane of the ordered two-dimensional arrangement of lenses, to receive said light scattered by the sample subsequent to crossing said microscope objective lens and said ordered two-dimensional arrangement of lenses, and to acquire spatial information and angular information of the object wavefront associated with said light from said sample, several of said photodetector elements facing each lens; and
at least one computational entity, operatively connected to said image sensor, and configured and arranged to perform a computational reconstruction of said object wavefront based on said spatial and angular information;
wherein the spacing pμ between the centres of each two contiguous lenses of said ordered two-dimensional arrangement of lenses is greater than 500 μm and its relative aperture is less than 10;
and wherein the kit for a microscope comprises:
a module for said microscope, comprising at least the ordered two-dimensional arrangement of lenses and the image sensor of the microscope, as well as a support for supporting the same and an optical-mechanical coupling tube adapted to be coupled to a camera port of the microscope; and
an illumination module comprising the illumination mechanism of the microscope, adapted to be coupled to an illumination port of the microscope.
