• Whole slide imaging enables scanning entire stained-glass slides with high resolution into digital images for the tissue morphology/molecular pathology assessment and analysis, which has increased in adoption for both clinical and research applications. As an alternative to conventional optical microscopy, lensfree holography imaging, which offers high resolution and a wide field of view (FOV) with digital focus, has been widely used in various types of biomedical imaging. However, accurate colour holographic imaging with pixel super-resolution reconstruction has remained a great challenge due to its coherent characteristic. In this work, we propose a wide-field pixel super-resolution colour lensfree microscopy by performing wavelength scanning pixel super-resolution and phase retrieval simultaneously on the three channels of red, green and blue (RGB), respectively. High-resolution RGB three-channel composite colour image is converted to the YUV space for separating the colour component and the brightness component, keeping the brightness component unchanged as well as enhancing the colour component through average filter, which not only eliminates the common rainbow artifacts of holographic colour reconstruction but also maintains the high-resolution details collected under different colour illuminations. We conducted experiments on the reconstruction of a USAF1951, stained lotus root and red bone marrow smear for performance evaluation of the spatial resolution and colour reconstruction with an imaging FOV >40 mm 2 .
