Dynamical measurement of refractive index distribution using digital holographic interferometry based on total internal reflection
TL;DR: A method for dynamically measuring the refractive index distribution in a large range based on the combination of digital holographic interferometry and total internal reflection is presented.

Near-Membrane Refractometry Using Supercritical Angle Fluorescence.
TL;DR: A combination of TIRF excitation and supercritical angle fluorescence emission detection is used to directly measure the average RI in the "footprint" region of the cell during image acquisition, and this technique has important applications for imaging axial vesicle dynamics and the mitochondrial energy state or detecting metabolically more active cancer cells.

Probing Micro-Newton Forces on Solid/Liquid/Gas Interfaces Using Transmission Phase Shift.
TL;DR: This work provides the first direct evidence that in the issues of floating versus sinking at small-scale, Archimedes' principle should be generalized to include the crucial role of surface tension and reveal the dominant regimes of floating particles based on the Bond number.

Wenmei Hou,G. Wilkening +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase difference between the two orthogonal directions in the output beam is measured separately and compared with the reference signal, and when the arithmetical mean value is formed, except for a small residual error, the phase value obtained is free from nonlinearities.
