Quantitative refractive index distribution of single cell by combining phase-shifting interferometry and AFM imaging

Abstract Cell refractive index, an intrinsic optical parameter, is closely correlated with the intracellular mass and concentration. By combining optical phase-shifting interferometry (PSI) and atomic force microscope (AFM) imaging, we constructed a label free, non-invasive and quantitative refracti...
