Cell mass, volume and growth rate are tightly controlled biophysical parameters in cellular
development and homeostasis, and pathological cell growth defines cancer in metazoans …

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI), a method that precisely recovers the wavefront of an
electromagnetic field scattered by a transparent, weakly scattering object, is a rapidly …

Common cameras are only sensitive to the intensity of light, discarding an essential feature
of a light wave: its phase profile or, equivalently, its wavefront profile. This Review focuses …

Single-cell dry mass measurement is used in biology to follow cell cycle, to address effects
of drugs, or to investigate cell metabolism. Quantitative phase imaging technique with …

Quadriwave lateral shearing interferometry (QLSI) is a quantitative phase imaging technique
based on the use of a diffraction grating placed in front of a camera. This grating creates a …

Cells alter the path of light, a fact that leads to well‐known aberrations in single cell or tissue
imaging. Optical diffraction tomography (ODT) measures the biophysical property that …

A simple and cost-effective method is presented for quantitative phase imaging. A common-
path lateral phase shifting interferometer is realized through attaching a compact filter set to …

A wide variety of cellular processes, both physiological and pathological, are accompanied
by transient or permanent changes in a cell's fundamental characteristics as a biological …

The fine balance of growth and division is a fundamental property of the physiology of cells,
and one of the least understood. Its study has been thwarted by difficulties in the accurate …

We describe a new technique based on the use of a high-resolution quadri-wave lateral
shearing interferometer to perform quantitative linear retardance and birefringence …
