See live cells with seven times greater sensitivity using new microscopy technique: Upgrade to quantitative phase imaging can increase image clarity by expanding dynamic range – Science Daily

Experts in optical physics have developed a new way to see inside living cells in greater detail using existing microscopy technology and without needing to add stains or fluorescent dyes.Since individual cells are almost translucent, microscope cameras must detect extremely subtle differences in the light passing through parts of the cell. Those differences are known as the phase of the light. Camera image sensors are limited by what amount of light phase difference they can detect, referred to…
