Phase imaging with partially coherent light

We review several quantitative phase imaging methods that retrieve phase from a through-focus series of intensity images (specifically, iterative methods and Transport of Intensity) and compare their performance when using partially coherent illumination, such as in the case in a brightfield microscope or X-ray imaging system.
