Project description
Expanding the capabilities of quantitative phase imaging
Quantitative phase imaging (QPM) methods are used in microscopy for measuring specific properties of semi-transparent samples (e.x. cells) without being labelled. These techniques are distinguished from conventional phase contrast methods in that they create a second so-called phase shift image, independent of the intensity image. Quadriwave lateral shearing interferometry (QLSI) is a high-resolution wavefront sensing technique that has been used in QPM for a decade. However, the imaged light field this method is treated as scalar, which does not help capture all the information a light beam contains. The EU-funded MultiPhase project seeks to expand the capabilities of QLSI. To this end, an experimental methodology to retrieve the polarisation of the light field will be developed.
