Dynamics of cellular response to hypotonic stimulation revealed by quantitative phase microscopy and multi-fractal detrended fluctuation analysis (original) (raw)

Applied Physics Letters, 2012

Abstract

Hypotonic stimulation is known to cause morphological changes in cells and also leads to modulation of cellular physiology. In order to evaluate the dynamics of cellular response to hypotonic stimulation, we utilized digital holographic microscopy for quantitative phase microscopy, achieved by a common-path interferometry geometry based on extraction of reference beam by spatial-filtering. Results from live cell investigations demonstrate the capability of this method for dynamic quantitative phase imaging. Further, wavelet and multi-fractal detrended fluctuation analysis revealed that the dynamic phase changes, in response to hypotonic stimulation, are multifractal in nature.
