Claim One:
1. A Fourier ptychographic retinal imaging method, the method comprising: focusing on a retina of an eye; illuminating the eye with plane wave illumination; acquiring a sequence of raw retinal images based on light reflected from the retina, wherein the sequence of raw retinal images is acquired while an aperture passing light to an imaging system is sequentially shifted to different locations at the Fourier plane of an approximate plane of the retina; after acquiring the raw retinal images, reconstructing a complex full resolution image of the retina with phase and amplitude image data recovered by iteratively updating regions in Fourier space with data from the plurality of raw retinal images; and correcting aberration in the reconstructed complex full resolution image of the retina to generate a substantially aberration-free, full resolution retinal image.
