Q-Phase

Multimodal holographic microscope (MHM) uses incoherent holography, which enables to acquire quantitative phase images with high lateral resolution comparable with conventional widefield microscopes.

Featured operating modes

• Transmission mode: suitable for biological and biotechnical applications (cell life cycle, cell growth, cell motility, morphological observations, etc.).
• Reflection mode: suited for applications from material science and topography studies with nanometer axial resolution.
• Fluorescence mode: enables additional comparative experiments

Advantages of MHM

• quantitative phase imaging (without halo effect),
• imaging of live cells in their native environment,
• label-free, non-invasive observation,
• observation in turbid media,
• system located in incubator (adjustable temperature),
• imaging without speckles and parasitic interferences (in comparison with laser-based HM),
• fast image acquisition (no scanning necessary),
• user-friendly system: motorized parts (objective exchange, sample stage and focusing), automated microscope adjustment, easy operating with control panel, automated multidimensional acquisition (time-lapse, multichannel, Z-stack).

A system is available to the scientific public for their tests and applications.
