  Stain-free identification of cell nuclei using tomographic phase microscopy in flow cytometry

  The accurate identification of the three-dimensional quantitative shape of a cell nucleus is now possible without fluorescent staining by applying computational segmentation to refractive index tomograms recorded in the flow cytometry mode.

  Plasmon-induced enhancement of ptychographic phase microscopy via sub-surface nanoaperture arrays

  Plasmonics and metamaterials enable ptychographic coherent diffractive imaging with improved reconstructed phase and amplitude. The approach may be particularly useful for imaging of extremely thin or highly transparent objects.

  Combined multi-plane phase retrieval and super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging for 4D cell microscopy

  By combining the sensitivity and high temporal resolution of phase imaging with the specificity and high spatial resolution of fluorescence microscopy, a 4D microscope is demonstrated that visualizes in three dimensions the fast cellular processes in living cells at up to 200 Hz.
