Session Summary

This tutorial will cover the emerging area of label free microscopy, focusing on ptychography, but also introducing holography and other quantitative and semiquantitative label-free imaging approaches for cytometric analysis of cells. Examples of cell cycle, cell proliferation, cell death, and live cell tracking will be given. The student will leave with an insight in to what will possibly be the next big area of development in biological imaging. They will be able to understand the basic concepts, needs, and approaches available and leave enthused about the potential applications that this may open up for themselves and bioimaging in general.

Session Outline

  1. Basics/overview of the fundamental physics that lie behind these fast developing label free imaging techniques.
  2. A basic outline of how the ptychographic microscope is set-up will be described.
  3. An explanation of how bioimages are acquired, highlighting advantages over labeled techniques and some of its limitations.
  4. Discussion of example data sets and their cytometric analysis.
  5. Open discussion: how will label-free microscopy develop in the future?
