Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is a label-free, wide-field microscopy approach with
significant opportunities for biomedical applications. QPI uses the natural phase shift of light …

Soft materials often exhibit a distinctive power-law viscoelastic response arising from broad
distribution of time-scales present in their complex internal structure. A promising tool to …

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) has emerged as a valuable tool for biomedical research
thanks to its unique capabilities for quantifying optical thickness variation of living cells and …

Erythrocytes are the main cells in circulation. They are devoid of internal membrane
structures and easy to be isolated and handled providing a good model for different assays …

A cellular-level study of the pathophysiology is crucial for understanding the mechanisms
behind human diseases. Recent advances in quantitative phase imaging (QPI) techniques …

The main obstacle in retrieving quantitative phase with high sensitivity is posed by the phase
noise due to mechanical vibrations and air fluctuations that typically affect any …

We present a technique called white-light diffraction tomography (WDT) for imaging
microscopic transparent objects such as live unlabelled cells. The approach extends …

We present spatial light interference microscopy (SLIM) as a new optical microscopy
technique, capable of measuring nanoscale structures and dynamics in live cells via …

Computational microscopy, as a subfield of computational imaging, combines optical
manipulation and image algorithmic reconstruction to recover multi-dimensional microscopic …

Cells generate and sustain mechanical forces within their environment as part of their
normal physiology. They are active materials that can detect mechanical stimulation by the …
