High sensitivity, incoherent differential imaging

Chiara Bonati

Microscopic visualisation of optically transparent samples has been a topic of interest for several decades. Features such as density or chemical composition can influence the optical phase of transmitted light, and phase contrast can reveal these structur ...

High-resolution interference microscopy of binary phase diffractive optical elements

Toralf Scharf, Dong Cheon Kim, Michail Symeonidis

In this work, we apply the high-resolution interference microscopy technique to investigate the intensity and phase of light transmitted through a binary phase element. Using a combination of simulation and experimental results, we identify specific featur ...

OPTICAL SOC AMER2019

Microscopy is of high interest for biology since it allows imaging features that are too small to be seen with naked eyes. However, cells are mostly transparent to visible and infrared light which makes it difficult to see with a traditional microscope. To ...

Coherent imaging from bacteria to multicellular organisms

Séverine Coquoz

Structural and functional imaging of cells, tissues and organisms is crucial for understanding biomedical processes. Fluorescence microscopy is an established tool and has contributed to many discoveries in the life sciences. This technique provides molecu ...

We introduce a variational phase retrieval algorithm for the imaging of transparent objects. Our formalism is based on the transport-of-intensity equation (TIE), which relates the phase of an optical field to the variation of its intensity along the direct ...

Hermite Snakes with Control of Tangents

Michaël Unser, Julien René Pierre Fageot, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

We introduce a new model of parametric contours defined in a continuous fashion. Our curve model relies on Hermite spline interpolation and can easily generate curves with sharp discontinuities; it also grants direct access to the tangent at each location. ...

A dual-wavelength digital holographic microscope to measure absolute volume of living cells is proposed. The optical setup allows us to reconstruct two quantitative phase contrast images at two different wavelengths from a single hologram acquisition. When ...

High-resolution cell outline segmentation and tracking from phase-contrast microscopy images

Jean-Jacques Meister, Charles Brepsant, Mark Etienne Ambühl

Accurate extraction of cell outlines from microscopy images is essential for analysing the dynamics of migrating cells. Phase-contrast microscopy is one of the most common and convenient imaging modalities for observing cell motility because it does not re ...

Automated statistical quantification of three-dimensional morphology and mean corpuscular hemoglobin of multiple red blood cells

Pierre Marquet, Daniel Boss

In this paper, we present an automated approach to quantify information about three-dimensional (3D) morphology, hemoglobin content and density of mature red blood cells (RBCs) using off-axis digital holographic microscopy (DHM) and statistical algorithms. ...
