A pocket holographic slide enables the high-throughput screening of fluid samples by embedding micro-optics directly on a micro-channel to achieve off-axis interferometric imaging.
Abstract
A pocket holographic slide enables the high-throughput screening of fluid samples by embedding micro-optics directly on a micro-channel to achieve off-axis interferometric imaging. This holographic slide can be used to turn a conventional microscope into a phase-contrast imager or as a stand-alone compact imaging device by incorporating polymer lenses that are printed directly on-chip.

Quantifying Embolism: Label-Free Volumetric Mapping of Thrombus Structure and Kinesis in a Microfluidic System with Optical Holography

TL;DR: The effectiveness of holographic quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) in identifying multiple morphological parameters of a thrombus (volume, surface area, and height) formed over collagen‐coated microfluidic channels by exerting a range of shear rates with anticoagulated platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) and whole blood is demonstrated.

Single-pixel coherent diffraction imaging

TL;DR: This work employs an efficient single-pixel phase-retrieval algorithm to jointly recover the object's 2D amplitude and phase maps from the 1D intensity-only measurements, and proves the technique's quantitative phase imaging nature using both calibrated phase objects and biological samples.

Spatial filtering for zero-order and twin-image elimination in digital off-axis holography

TL;DR: Off-axis holograms recorded with a CCD camera are numerically reconstructed with a calculation of scalar diffraction in the Fresnel approximation and the zero order of diffraction and the twin image are digitally eliminated by means of filtering their associated spatial frequencies in the computed Fourier transform of the hologram.
