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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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