Single-shot multispectral quantitative phase imaging of biological samples using deep learning

Abstract

Multispectral quantitative phase imaging (MS-QPI) is a high-contrast label-free technique for morphological imaging of the specimens. The aim of the present study is to extract spectral dependent quantitative information in single-shot using a highly spatially sensitive digital holographic microscope assisted by a deep neural network. There are three different wavelengths used in our method: 𝜆=532 , 633, and 808 nm. The first step is to get the interferometric data for each wavelength. The acquired datasets are used to train a generative adversarial network to generate multispectral (MS) quantitative phase maps from a single input interferogram. The network was trained and validated on two different samples: the optical waveguide and MG63 osteosarcoma cells. Validation of the present approach is performed by comparing the predicted MS phase maps with numerically reconstructed (FT+TIE ) phase maps and quantifying with different image quality assessment metrices.
