The adaptation of an off-the-shelf Blu-ray optical pickup unit (OPU) into a highly versatile point source for digital lensless holographic microscopy (DLHM) is presented. DLHM performance is mostly determined by the optical properties of the point source of spherical waves used for free-space magnification of the sample's diffraction pattern; in particular, its wavelength and numerical aperture define the achievable resolution, and its distance to the recording medium sets the magnification. Through a set of straightforward modifications, a commercial Blu-ray OPU can be transformed into a DLHM point source with three selectable wavelengths, a numerical aperture of up to 0.85, and integrated micro-displacements in both axial and transversal directions. The functionality of the OPU-based point source is then experimentally validated in the observation of micrometer-sized calibrated samples and biological specimens of common interest, showing the feasibility of obtaining sub-micrometer resolution and offering a versatile option for the development of new cost-effective and portable microscopy devices.
