Abstract:Quantitative oblique back-illumination microscopy (qOBM) is a label-free imaging technique that enables threedimensional phase imaging of thick samples with epi-illumination. Here, we present a preliminary study using qOBM to monitor sickle cell disease in mice. We have used qOBM to image the brains of recently sacrificed PBS-perfused control mice and mice with sickle cell disease. Quantitative phase images revealed morphological differences in the blood vessel structure coupled with blockages of cortex vessel… Show more
