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 …

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is an emerging field aimed at studying weakly scattering
and absorbing specimens (Popescu, 2011). The main challenge in generating intrinsic …

Characterizing the physical properties of single cells is of great interest for unraveling the
heterogeneity in a cell population. Recent advances in micro-systems technologies and …

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is an emerging label-free modality that attracts significant
interest in biomedicine in general and neuroscience in particular. Based on the principle of …

We demonstrate a real-time blood testing system that can provide remote diagnosis with
minimal human intervention in economically challenged areas. Our instrument combines …

We used quantitative phase imaging to measure the dispersion relation, ie decay rate vs.
spatial mode, associated with mass transport in live cells. This approach applies equally …

The emergent self-organization of a neuronal network in a developing nervous system is the
result of a remarkably orchestrated process involving a multitude of chemical, mechanical …

The current practice of surgical pathology relies on external contrast agents to reveal tissue
architecture, which is then qualitatively examined by a trained pathologist. The diagnosis is …

Optogenetics has emerged as an exciting tool for manipulating neural activity, which in turn,
can modulate behavior in live organisms. However, detecting the response to the optical …

We report the use of a twisted nematic liquid-crystal spatial light modulator (TNLC-SLM) for
quantitative phase imaging. The experimental setup is a new implementation of the SLIM …
