  1. Optical diffraction tomography (ODT) is an indispensable tool for studying objects in three dimensions. Until now, ODT has been limited to coherent light because spatial phase information is required to solve the inverse scattering problem. We introduce a method that enables ODT to be applied to imaging incoherent contrast mechanisms such as fluorescent emission. Our strategy mimics the coherent scattering process with two spatially coherent illumination beams. The interferometric illumination pattern encodes spatial phase in temporal variations of the fluorescent emission, thereby allowing incoherent fluorescent emission to mimic the behavior of coherent illumination. The temporal variations permit recovery of the spatial distribution of fluorescent emission with an inverse scattering model. Simulations and experiments demonstrate isotropic resolution in the 3D reconstruction of a fluorescent object.
