An ultrafast autofocus method for microscopy by Fourier single-pixel imaging via maximizing the frequency component magnitude. It is imaging-free and is derived from the physical mechanism, making it highly attractive for autofocusing transparent samples under non-visible illumination. See Guan Wang et al., pp. 1313.
