Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Cell Biology
  • Microscopy

Background:

  • Spatial Light Interference Microscopy (SLIM) is a sensitive quantitative phase imaging technique.
  • Current SLIM systems are limited in speed by liquid crystal phase modulator (LCPM) switching and camera acquisition rates, restricting studies of dynamic samples.
  • Quantitative phase imaging provides high-resolution structural information crucial for biological studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present a fast SLIM setup for real-time quantitative phase imaging.
  • To overcome the speed limitations of conventional SLIM systems.
  • To enable the study of highly dynamic biological processes at high temporal resolution.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented a fast liquid crystal phase modulator (LCPM) for phase shifting.
  • Utilized a fast scientific-grade complementary metal oxide semiconductor (sCMOS) camera for high-speed image acquisition.
  • Developed a real-time SLIM system capable of acquiring 4 phase-shifted images for quantitative phase reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a maximum imaging rate of 50 frames per second.
  • Generated real-time quantitative phase images at 12.5 frames per second.
  • Successfully obtained dispersion relations (decay rate vs. spatial mode) for dynamic beating cardiomyocyte cells.

Conclusions:

  • The developed fast SLIM system significantly enhances temporal resolution for quantitative phase imaging.
  • This advancement allows for the investigation of dynamic cellular processes previously inaccessible with conventional SLIM.
  • The system provides valuable insights into the biophysical properties of living cells, such as cardiomyocyte contraction dynamics.
