Measurement of absolute cell volume, osmotic membrane water permeability, and refractive index of transmembrane water and solute flux by digital holographic microscopy

Christian Depeursinge, Pierre Marquet, Pierre Magistretti, Pascal Jourdain, Daniel Boss

A dual-wavelength digital holographic microscope to measure absolute volume of living cells is proposed. The optical setup allows us to reconstruct two quantitative phase contrast images at two different wavelengths from a single hologram acquisition. When ...

Label-Free Cytotoxicity Screening Assay by Digital Holographic Microscopy

Gerardo Turcatti, Christian Depeursinge, Marc Chambon, Jonas Kühn, Pierre Magistretti, Benjamin Rappaz, Julien Mena, Jérôme Parent, Etienne Shaffer

We introduce a label-free technology based on digital holographic microscopy (DHM) with applicability for screening by imaging, and we demonstrate its capability for cytotoxicity assessment using mammalian living cells. For this first high content screenin ...

Exploring Neural Cell Dynamics with Digital Holographic Microscopy

Christian Depeursinge, Pierre Marquet, Pierre Magistretti

In this review, we summarize how the new concept of digital optics applied to the field of holographic microscopy has allowed the development of a reliable and flexible digital holographic quantitative phase microscopy (DH-QPM) technique at the nanoscale p ...

Automated quantitative analysis of 3D morphology and mean corpuscular hemoglobin in human red blood cells stored in different periods

Pierre Marquet, Daniel Boss

Quantitative phase (QP) images of red blood cells (RBCs), which are obtained by off-axis digital holographic microscopy, can provide quantitative information about three-dimensional (3D) morphology of human RBCs and the characteristic properties such as me ...

Functional and Structural Imaging with Optical Coherence Microscopy : Principles & Applications

Arno Pino Bouwens

Fluorescence microscopy techniques are well established research tools and have proven their use in a large variety of biomedical applications. Microscopic molecular contrast is achieved by imaging fluorescent dyes that bind specifically to a molecule of i ...

Erythrocyte-binding therapeutics

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Stephane Kontos, Karen Dane

Peptides that specifically bind erythrocytes are described. These are provided as peptidic ligands having sequences that specifically bind, or as antibodies or fragments thereof that provide specific binding, to erythrocytes. The peptides may be prepared a ...

Automated segmentation of multiple red blood cells with digital holographic microscopy

Pierre Marquet, Daniel Boss

We present a method to automatically segment red blood cells (RBCs) visualized by digital holographic microscopy (DHM), which is based on the marker-controlled watershed algorithm. Quantitative phase images of RBCs can be obtained by using off-axis DHM alo ...

Full field vertical scanning in short coherence digital holographic microscope

Frédéric Montfort, Etienne Cuche, Christian Depeursinge, Christophe Moser

In Digital holography Microscopes (DHM) implemented in the so-called "off axis" configuration, the object and reference wave fronts are not co-planar but form an angle of a few degrees. This results into two main drawbacks. First, the contrast of the inter ...

Advanced Image Processing for Biology, and the Open Bio Image Alliance (OBIA)

Michaël Unser, Daniel Sage, Ricard Delgado Gonzalo

The field of biological imaging has evolved considerably during the past decade as a result of recent (r)evolutions in fluorescence labeling and optical microscopy. Bioimage informatics has been identified as a top priority to cope with the ever-increasing ...

Quantitative lateral and axial flow imaging with optical coherence microscopy and tomography

Theo Lasser, Tristan Bolmont, Arno Pino Bouwens, Daniel Pawel Szlag

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence microscopy (OCM) allow the acquisition of quantitative three-dimensional axial flow by estimating the Doppler shift caused by moving scatterers. Measuring the velocity of red blood cells is currently ...
