Optical-Mechanical Signatures of Cancer Cells Measured by Interferometry

چکیده
We used interferometric microscopy to uniquely measure live cancer cell fluctuations, in a noncontact, label-free manner, and showed that cancer cells fluctuate more than similar but healthy cells, demonstrating the method potential for cancer diagnosis.

Measurement and comparison of the temperature-dependence of refractive index of water and Plexiglas phantoms by interferometry method for their use in optical calorimetry
In radiation calorimetry by using laser beams and interferometry setups, variations induced by dose absorption in phantom can be precisely measured. Dose absorption and the induced temperature change result in refractive index variation of the material. In order to be able to measure the low amount of absorbed dose in the phantom, temperature dependence of refractive index of the material must ...
متن کاملOptical-mechanical properties of diseased cells measured by interferometry
Interferometric phase microscopy (IPM) enables to obtain quantitative optical thickness profiles of transparent samples, including live cells in-vitro, and track them in time with sub-nanometer accuracy without any external labeling, contact or force application on the sample. The optical thickness measured by IPM is a multiplication between the cell integral refractive index differences and it...
متن کاملMeasuring the deposited energy from a non-ionizing laser beam in water by digital holographic interferometry
Digital Holographic interferometry is a powerful and widely used optical technique for accurate measurement of variations in physical quantities such as density, refractive index, and etc. In this study, an experimental digital holographic interferometry setup was designed and used to measure the amount of energy changes induced by absorption of radiation from a non-ionizing infrared laser beam...
متن کاملEstimation of Earthquake Damage Through Radar Interferometry (Case study: Bam 2003 Earthquake)
The estimate of the damage caused by the earthquake and other natural disasters in the first days after the occurrence of these events can provide a quick damages assessment and help to manage the crisis. Several methods are available to investigate the extent of earthquake’s damage. Optical remote sensing, photogrammetric methods (UAVs and LIDARs), radar interferometry (InSAR) and field observ...
متن کاملA Moir Microscope for Finite Deformation Micro-mechanical Studies
-A new version of a moir6 microscope is presented that embodies the theory of optical moir6 interferometry. To interrogate the deformed specimen grating, the device uses a transmission diffraction grating that allows for a simple and quick change of the virtual reference grating vector without disturbing the optical alignment of the other components in the optical train. To analyze deformation ...
