Quantitative Phase Imaging of Cells and Tissues

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Cutting-edge quantitative phase imaging techniques and their applications

Filled with unique, full-color images taken by advanced quantitative phase imaging (QPI), Quantitative Phase Imaging of Cells and Tissues thoroughly explores this innovative technology and its biomedical applications. An introductory background on optical imaging and traditional optical microscopy is included to illustrate concept development. The book explains how various visualization modalities can be obtained by numerical calculations. This authoritative resource reveals how to take full advantage of the unprecedented capabilities of QPI, such as rendering scattering properties of minute subcellular structures and nanoscale fluctuations in live cells.

Coverage includes:

Groundwork
Spatiotemporal field correlations
Image characteristics
Light microscopy
Holography
Point scanning QPI methods
Principles of full-field QPI
Off-axis full-field methods
Phase-shifting techniques
Common-path methods
White light techniques
Fourier transform light scattering (FTLS)
Current trends in QPI
