TLDR
In this article, an interferometric scattering microscope is adapted by performing spatial filtering of output light, which comprises both light scattered from a sample location and illuminating light reflected from the sample location, prior to detection of the output light.
Abstract
An interferometric scattering microscope is adapted by performing spatial filtering of output light, which comprises both light scattered from a sample location and illuminating light reflected from the sample location, prior to detection of the output light. The spatial filtering passes the reflected illumination light but with a reduction in intensity that is greater within a predetermined numerical aperture than at larger numerical apertures. This enhances the imaging contrast for coherent illumination, particularly for objects that are weak scatterers.

High-speed nanoscopic tracking of the position and orientation of a single virus.

TL;DR: A colocalization methodology that combines scattering interferometry and single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to visualize both position and orientation of single quantum dot–labeled Simian virus 40 (SV40) particles suggests recurrent swap of receptors and viral pentamers as well as receptor aggregation in nanodomains.

Systems and methods for phase measurements

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a system for phase measurement and imaging based on the principles of low coherence interferometry (LCI) using optical interferometers to measure phase, or light scattering spectroscopy (LSS) using interference within the cellular components themselves.

Interferometric optical detection and tracking of very small gold nanoparticles at a water-glass interface

TL;DR: An interferometric detection scheme is used to directly detect single gold nanoparticles with a diameter as small as 5 nm in an aqueous environment and it is shown thatgold nanoparticles can be readily distinguished from background scatterers by exploiting the wavelength dependence of their plasmon resonances.

Methods and apparatus for determining particle characteristics by measuring scattered light

TL;DR: An instrument for measuring the size and characteristics of a particle contained in a sample of particles is described in this article. But this instrument is limited to the case where the particle sample is subjected to centrifugal forces so that large particles travel in the sample chamber at velocities greater than small particles.
