Digital inline holographic microscopy is applied for lens-free imaging with high lateral resolution. Microfluidic chambers for the imaging of cells in water-like or native solutions, e.g., thick layers of glass and other materials with different refractive index, cause aberrations that limit the spatial resolution and change the magnification scale. In this Letter, a fast reconstruction technique considering parallel layer systems of different refractive indices is presented. In the experiments, properly scaled images of microbeads and red human blood cells with an optical resolution corresponding to a numerical aperture of about 0.62 were reconstructed.

Mechanical properties of engineered connective tissues are critical for their success, yet modern sensors that measure physical qualities of tissues for quality control are invasive and destructive. The goal of this work was to develop a noncontact, nondestructive method to measure mechanical attributes of engineered skin substitutes during production without disturbing the sterile culture packaging. We optimized a digital holographic vibrometry (DHV) system to measure the mechanical behavior of Apligraf living cellular skin substitute through the clear packaging in multiple conditions: resting on solid agar as when the tissue is shipped, on liquid media in which it is grown, and freely suspended in air as occurs when the media is removed for feeding.

A lensless compact arrangement based on digital in-line holography under Gabor's regime is proposed as a novel contactless method to assess the profile of multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs) which are conformed by several diffractive rings. Diffractive MIOLs are a widely adopted ophthalmologic option for the correction of presbyopia in patients undergoing cataract surgery. The MIOL optical design might introduce non-negligible optical performance differences between lenses as well as the introduction of undesirable photic phenomena (such as halos and glare) affecting the vision of users.

Article Synopsis
- Lensless digital inline holographic microscopy (LDIHM) uses computational methods for imaging, but existing networks require large and diverse datasets for high-quality hologram reconstruction.
- To address the data scarcity, a hybrid deep framework called HDPhysNet is proposed, combining pre-trained and physics-aware models for improved phase recovery from low-resolution holograms.
- Experimental results indicate that HDPhysNet significantly outperforms both trained and untrained deep networks in reconstruction quality, enhancing structural similarity and phase signal-to-noise ratio for complex biological samples.
Article Synopsis
- The Letter presents a new method for denoising holographic images using a conditional diffusion model, inspired by generative techniques, to reduce twin-image and speckle noises in complex particle fields.
- The method's effectiveness is validated with calibration and droplet field data from different holographic techniques, with evaluation based on three metrics demonstrating its superior noise reduction and detail preservation compared to traditional methods.
- This innovative approach not only sets a benchmark in generative holographic image denoising but also emphasizes its relevance for industrial uses, particularly due to its lesser need for high-quality training labels.

Significance: Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) is a label-free microscopy technique that provides time-resolved quantitative phase imaging (QPI) by measuring the optical path delay of light induced by transparent biological samples. DHM has been utilized for various biomedical applications, such as cancer research and sperm cell assessment, as well as for drug or toxicity testing. Its lensless version, digital lensless holographic microscopy (DLHM), is an emerging technology that offers size-reduced, lightweight, and cost-effective imaging systems.
