Stain-Free Quantification of Chromosomes in Live Cells Using Regularized Tomographic Phase Microscopy

Abstract: Refractive index imaging is a label-free technique that enables long-term monitoring of the internal structures and molecular composition in living cells with minimal perturbation. Existing tomographic methods for the refractive index imaging lack 3-D resolution and result in artifacts that prevent accurate refractive index quantification. To overcome these limitations without compromising the capability to observe a sample in its most native condition, we have developed a regularized tomographic phase microsc… Show more

“…Our method collects images in a broad range of wavelength, each of which contains both material dispersion information as well as structural information of the sample. Extracting material dispersion of the cellular organelles, which is left for a future study, could provide rich molecular-specific information, e.g., relative amount of nucleic acids and proteins, at a subcellular level [4].…”

“…The refractive index is the source of image contrast in DHM, which can be related to the average concentration of non-aqueous contents within the specimen, the socalled dry mass [1][2][3]. Tomographic interrogation of living biological specimens using DHM can thereby provide the mass of cellular organelles [4] as well as three-dimensional morphology of the subcellular structures within cells and small organisms [5]. There are other label-free approaches [6,7] that rely on non-linear light-matter interactions to provide rich molecular-specific information.…”

“…Although the number of applications utilizing QPI [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] is rising steadily, QPI, as a technology, is under-utilized in comparison with non-quantitative phase contrast. One possible explanation for this is that modalities such as PC, DIC, and fluorescence microscopy may be integrated into a single optical system with excellent imaging properties (specklefree, uniform) due to the use of partially coherent (both temporally and spatially, usually Köhler) illumination from filament light sources whereas QPI conventionally requires coherent illumination which is not ideal for imaging with speckle-interference and phase jitter as intrinsic noise sources [4].…”
