Li, Yan GERI weekly seminar 13-11-2009 Digital Holographic Microscopy for Quantitative Visualization
Outline Introduction Quantitative phase-contrast imaging Experiments Conclusions Future work
Holography • A method for obtaining the amplitude and phase of a wavefield • Two-step imaging • Recording: interference pattern • Reconstruction • Digital holography • Recording medium: CCD or CMOS camera • Reconstruction: numerical algorithms
General methods • Phase shifting • Fourier transform analysis • Digital holography • Numerical reconstruction
Intensity-contrast image (Photograph) Amplitude-contrast result Phase-contrast result Hologram
Macroscopic object • Surface roughness • Multiple holograms: wavelength, illumination, refractive index
Amplitude-contrast result Phase-contrast result • Microscopic objects: • Quantitative phase-contrast image from single hologram
Three contributions to the reconstructed phase • The absolute phase of the object • The tilt aberration due to the off-axis geometry and the curvature produced by the microscopic objective • Other aberrations or wavefront deformations induced by the setup
Quantitative phase-contrast imaging • Capturing a reference hologram without the object to compensate the unwanted phase terms • Digital phase mask • Manually generated • 1D fitting procedure • 2D fitting procedure
1D fitting procedure Y = a0 + a1x + a2x2 + b1y + b2y2 Yh = a0 + a1x + a2x2
Conclusions • Feasibility • Advantages • Noncontact, full-field, vibration insensitive, marker free, investigation of dynamic processes • Disadvantages • Speckles, compromised resolution • Approaches to deal with disadvantages • Light source • Microscope objective with higher magnification
Future work 2D fitting procedure Applying digital phase mask in hologram plane Setup for living cell applications Quality microscope objectives with higher magnification Other algorithms for numerical reconstruction
