| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this work, we developed two types of quantitative phase microscopes. One is a scan-type phase measurement system that does not require an phase unwrapping process. The other is the Digital Holographic Microscope (DHM), using a spherical reference beam that can measure wide field phase distribution. The scan-type phase measurement system is based on the Mach–Zehnder interferometer, which uses a phase-locking technique. In our preliminary experiments, cancer cells were distinguished from normal cells through comparison of differences in optical path length. The DHM system, which allows for high-precision quantitative phase measurements of large areas, facilitates improvements in terms of the diffraction calculation. With this system, we proposed a novel autofocusing technique that exploits the intensity distribution of the transparent phase object. We successfully obtained high-resolution large-area images of sheets of the cells.
