Abstract
Provided are systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with depth-resolved spatial-domain low-coherence quantitative phase microscopy for high-throughput analysis of 3D nanoscale architectural alterations in unstained tissue and cells. A spatial-domain low-coherence quantitative phase microscopy apparatus includes a drOPD mapping module, a transmission phase imaging module, and a bright-field and transmission phase imaging module. The drOPD mapping module includes a reflection-mode low-coherence spectral interferometry for drOPD mapping of unstained tissue. The transmission phase imaging module includes transmission quantitative phase imaging of unstained and stained tissue and produce an image registration reference. The bright-field and transmission phase imaging module includes bright-field imaging of H&E-stained tissue for nuclei identification and pathology correlation.
