Abstract

Abstract:Holotomographic microscopy (HTM) measures the refractive index (RI) tomograms of living cells and tissues in three dimensions. The ability to observe biological processes at high spatial and temporal resolution opens uncharted territories for cell biologists, however, current HTM devices have a limited throughput. We show here the first automated multi-well plate-compatible HTM device, the CX-A. Thanks to state-of-the-art environment control and a new type of autofocus, the CX-A can record multiple conditions in parallel over large fields of view, while its software EVE supports automated single-cell segmentation and quantification. This opens the door to new applications for HTM, from drug screening to systems biology.
