Imaging with optical resolution through turbid media is a long sought-after goal with important applications in deep tissue imaging. Although extensively studied(1), this goal was considered impractical until recently. Adaptive-optics techniques(2,3), which can correct weak aberrations, are inadequate for turbid samples, where light is scattered to complex speckle patterns with a number of modes greatly exceeding the number of degrees of control(4). This conception changed after the demonstration of coherent focusing through turbid media by wavefront-shaping, using spatial light modulators(5-7). Here, we show that wavefront-shaping enables wide-field imaging through turbid layers with incoherent illumination, and imaging of occluded objects using light scattered from diffuse walls. In contrast to the recently introduced schemes for imaging through turbid media(8-15), our technique does not require coherent sources(8-14), interferometric detection(10-14), raster-scanning(8-10,14,15) or off-line reconstruction(11-15). Our results bring wavefront-shaping closer to practical applications and realize the vision of looking through 'walls' and around corners(16).
