Epi-mode 3D quantitative phase imaging with quantitative oblique back illumination microcopy (qOBM): recent advances in functional and dynamic contrast

Abstract

Quantitative oblique back illumination microscopy (qOBM) enables 3D quantitative phase imaging (QPI) and refractive index tomography (i.e., optical diffraction tomography, or ODT) in arbitrarily thick scattering samples. Here I outline recent efforts to provide additional functional information with qOBM.
