Rapid, label-free classification of tumor-reactive T cell killing with quantitative phase microscopy and machine learning

Abstract Quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) enables studies of living biological systems without exogenous labels. To increase the utility of QPM, machine-learning methods have been adapted to extract additional information from the quantitative phase data. Previous QPM approaches focused on fluid...
