Polarization Sensitive Digital Holographic Imaging in Biology

A new, simple digital holography-based polarization microscope for quantitative birefringence imaging of biological cells is presented. As a proof concept, two different class have been characterized by sensitive holographic (PSDHI). These cases study reported are: differentiation leukaemia and identification reacted sperm cells. Although further experimentation necessary, the suggested approach could represent prospective label-free diagnostic tool use in medical research diagnosis.
