3D-printed biological cell phantom for testing 3D quantitative phase imaging systems

Abstract

As the 3D quantitative phase imaging (QPI) methods mature, their further development calls for reliable tools and methods to characterize and compare their metrological parameters. We use refractive index engineering during two-photon laser photolithography to fabricate a life-scale phantom of a biological cell with internal structures that mimic optical and structural properties of mammalian cells. After verification with a number of reference techniques, the phantom is used to characterize the performance of a limited-angle holographic tomography microscope.

Application of Binary Genetic Algorithm for Holographic Vascular Mimicking Phantom Reconstruction

“…In the reconstruction process, the tomographic reconstruction algorithm is used. This algorithm bases on applying the Fourier diffraction theorem in the Rytov approximation [33]. Magliani et al used genetic algorithms to find the diffusion parameters in several public image datasets.…”

Reconstruction with In-Line Digital Holography Quantitative Phase Imaging for Tissue-Mimicking Phantom Samples

“…On the other hand, Ziemczonok et al characterized the performance of a limited-angle holographic tomography microscope by using phantom manufactured by 3D laser photolithography. A full reference image quality assessment metric which is given such as the universal quality index Q, is applied to the tomographic reconstruction process [48]. In addition, to reconstruct the 3D image of the microstructures in the tissue, Kugler et al used a method of non-rigid image registration.…”

Голографическое исследование отклика клеток линии HeLa на фотодинамическое воздействие с эндогенно генерируемым протопорфирином IX

“…Цифровая голографическая микроскопия широко применяется в настоящее время для исследования клеточных культур и их реакции на внешние воздействия [1,2]. Ее преимущества перед фазово-контрастной и широкопольной оптической микроскопией заключаются в возможности получения численных значений морфологических и оптических параметров клеток при использовании малой плотности облучения, что делает этот метод исследования практически неинвазивным.…”
