Summary:Digital holographic microscopy is an imaging technique particularly well suited to the study of living cells in culture, as no labeling is required and computed phase maps produce high contrast, quantitative pixel information. A full experiment involves instrument calibration, cell culture quality checks, selection and setup of imaging chambers, a sampling plan, image acquisition, phase and amplitude map reconstruction, and parameter map post-processing to extract information about cell morphology and/or motility. Each step is described below, focusing on results from imaging four human cell lines. Several post-processing approaches are detailed, with an aim of tracking individual cells and dynamics of cell populations.
