Quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) leverages forward-scattered light and can detect structures at the microscale (in this study, over 100 nanometers), but not smaller. Consequently, this technique ...

Light waves, as they propagate through a medium, experience a temporal delay. This delay can unveil crucial information about the underlying structural and compositional characteristics. Quantitative ...

For decades, imaging weakly scattering phase objects such as cells has been an active area of research across various fields, including biomedical sciences. One common approach uses chemical stains or ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

Early diagnosis and noninvasive monitoring of neurological disorders require sensitivity to elusive cellular-level alterations that emerge much earlier than volumetric changes observable with ...

A computer-assisted design schematic showing how an electron beam is routed within a microscope. After going through the sample, it crosses a bright cyan beam representing the laser beam. A schematic ...

Conceptual illustration of the bidirectional quantitative scattering microscope, which detects both forward and backward scattered light from cells. This dual detection enables visualization of ...
