Single exposure three-dimensional imaging of dusty plasma clusters

2013 Review of Scientific Instruments  
We have worked out the details of a single camera, single exposure method to perform three-dimensional imaging of a finite particle cluster. The procedure is based on the plenoptic imaging principle and utilizes a commercial Lytro light field still camera. We demonstrate the capabilities of our technique on a single layer particle cluster in a dusty plasma, where the camera is aligned inclined at a small angle to the particle layer. The reconstruction of the third coordinate (depth) is found to
