    <p class="title">Description</p>

Function that computes the :math:`E` field at the image plane, corresponding to a given set of dipoles at the sample plane. The computation is based on :abbr:`DDA (discrete dipole approximation)` calculations, which take into account dipoles optical coupling.

|hr|

``DIs`` is an array of |Dipole| objects.

``IL`` and ``MI`` are respectively the |Illumination| and |Microscope| objects of the setup.

``Npx`` is the size of the image (width and height).
