Label-free classification of cell types by imaging of cell membrane fluctuations using low-coherent full-field quantitative phase microscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cell membrane motions of living cells are quantitatively measured in nanometer resolution by low-coherent full-field quantitative phase microscopy. Our setup is based on a full-field phase shifting interference microscope with a very lowcoherent light source. The reflection mode configuration and the low-coherent illumination make it possible to differentiate the weak reflection light from the cell membrane from the strong reflection from the glass substrate. Two cell populations are quantitatively assessed by the power spectral density of the cell surface motion and show different trends.

متن کاملDigital Holographic Microscopy: A Quantitative Label-Free Microscopy Technique for Phenotypic Screening
Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM) is a label-free imaging technique allowing visualization of transparent cells with classical imaging cell culture plates. The quantitative DHM phase contrast image provided is related both to the intracellular refractive index and to cell thickness. DHM is able to distinguish cellular morphological changes on two representative cell lines (HeLa and H9c2) whe...

There is a need for a noninvasive technique to monitor living pluripotent stem cell condition without any labeling. We present an optical imaging technique that is able to capture information about optical path difference through the cell and cell adhesion properties simultaneously using a combination of quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) and interference reflection microscopy (IRM) techniques...

متن کاملDynamic quantitative microscopy and nanoscopy of red blood cells in sickle cell disease
We have applied wide-field digital interferometric techniques to quantitatively image sickle red blood cells (RBCs) [1] in a noncontact label-free manner, and measure the nanometer-scale fluctuations in their thickness as an indication of their stiffness. The technique can simultaneously measure the fluctuations for multiple spatial points on the RBC and thus yields a map describing the stiffne...
