Here, we demonstrate that lens-free video microscopy enables us to simultaneously capture the kinetics of thousands of cells directly inside the incubator and that it is possible to monitor and quantify single cells along several cell cycles. We describe the full protocol used to monitor and quantify a HeLa cell culture for 2.7 days. First, cell culture acquisition is performed with a lens-free video microscope, and then the data is analyzed following a four-step process: multi-wavelength holographic reconstruction, cell-tracking, cell segmentation and cell division detection algorithms. As a result, we show that it is possible to gather a dataset featuring more than 10,000 cell cycle tracks and more than 2 x 10 cell morphological measurements.

Urine testing is an essential clinical diagnostic tool. The presence of urine sediments, typically analyzed through microscopic urinalysis or cell culture, can be indicative of many diseases, including bacterial, parasitic, and yeast infections, as well as more serious conditions like bladder cancer. Current urine analysis diagnostic methods are usually centralized and limited by high cost, inconvenience, and poor sensitivity.

In vitro experiments with cultured cells are essential for studying their growth and migration pattern and thus, for gaining a better understanding of cancer progression and its treatment. Recent progress in lens-free microscopy (LFM) has rendered it an inexpensive tool for label-free, continuous live cell imaging, yet there is only little work on analysing such time-lapse image sequences. We propose (1) a cell detector for LFM images based on fully convolutional networks and residual learning, and (2) a probabilistic model based on moral lineage tracing that explicitly handles multiple detections and temporal successor hypotheses by clustering and tracking simultaneously.

A new system for continuous flow chemiluminescence detection, based on the use of a simple and low-priced lens-free digital camera (with complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology) as a detector, is proposed for the quantitative determination of paracetamol in commercial pharmaceutical formulations. Through the camera software, AVI video files of the chemiluminescence emission are captured and then, using friendly ImageJ public domain software (from National Institutes for Health), properly processed in order to extract the analytical information. The calibration graph was found to be linear over the range 0.

They present results for lens-free microscopy for the imaging of dense cell culture. With this aim, they use a multiwavelength LED illumination with well separated wavelengths, together with the implementation of an appropriate holographic reconstruction algorithm. This allows for a fast and efficient reconstruction of the phase image of densely packed cells (up to 700 cells/mm ) over a large field of view of 29.
