Tomographic Phase Microscopy

چکیده
In visualizing transparent biological cells and tissues, the phase contrast microscope and its related techniques have been a cornerstone of nearly every cell biology laboratory. However, phase contrast methods are inherently qualitative and lack in 3-D imaging capability. We introduce a novel tomographic microscopy for quantitative three-dimensional mapping of refractive index in live cells and tissues using a phase-shifting laser interferometric microscope with variable illumination angle.

Extended depth of focus in tomographic phase microscopy using a propagation algorithm.
Tomographic phase microscopy is a laser interferometry technique in which a 3D refractive index map of a biological sample is constructed from quantitative phase images collected at a set of illumination angles. Although the resulting tomographic images provide valuable information, their resolution declines at axial distances beyond about 1 microm from the focal plane. We describe an improved ...
متن کاملFour-Dimensional Morphological Evolution of an Aluminum Silicon Alloy Using Propagation-Based Phase Contrast X-ray Tomographic Microscopy
Four-dimensional propagation-based phase contrast X-ray tomographic microscopy experiments were performed on an Aluminum29.9mass% Silicon alloy during coarsening. Using propagation-based phase contrast, changes in the three-dimensional morphology of primary silicon particles were captured and the resulting evolution of the microstructure is discussed. While morphologies at earlier times are com...
متن کاملX-ray Tomographic Microscopy at TOMCAT
Synchrotron-based X-ray Tomographic Microscopy is a powerful technique for fast non-destructive, high resolution quantitative volumetric investigations on diverse samples. At the TOMCAT (TOmographic Microscopy and Coherent rAdiology experimenTs) beamline at the Swiss Light Source, synchrotron light is delivered by a 2.9 T superbend. The main optical component, a Double Crystal Multilayer Monoch...
متن کاملAn introduction to diffractive tomographic microscopy
We present the principles of diffractive tomographic microscopy. Contrary to classical transmission microscopy, this technique is based on a coherent, monochromatic, polarized illumination of the specimen, and records the diffracted light in both amplitude and phase using a holographic detection set-up. Combined with multiple illuminations of the specimen, a tomography is performed, and a numer...
متن کاملHard X-ray Phase-Contrast Tomographic Nanoimaging
Synchrotron‐based full‐field tomographic microscopy established itself as a tool for noninvasive investigations. Many beamlines worldwide routinely achieve micrometer spatial resolution while the isotropic 100‐nm barrier is reached and trespassed only by few instruments, mainly in the soft x‐ray regime. We present an x‐ray, full‐field microscope with tomographic capabilities operating at 10 keV...
