Unlocking Disease-Specific Biomarkers: Digital Holographic Microscopy and Human Cells in Concert
摘要
We present technological advances in Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM) enabling the acquisition of quantitative phase signals virtually free of coherent noise. This is achieved through a polychromatic implementation (p-DHM) that combines multi-wavelength acquisition with advanced signal processing. The resulting high-fidelity phase data reveal subtle dynamic and structural cellular processes. When applied to patient-derived cells, this methodology enables the identification of disease-specific phenotypes, opening new perspectives for diagnostics, mechanistic insight, and drug screening.
