Abstract
We present a novel optical coherence microscopy (OCM) implementation which permits accurate measurements of intensity and phase of light returned from the sample. We demonstrate the capacity to acquire stable phase recordings with a phase sensitivity of 0.1 nm rms at 500 Hz frame rates with a field-of-view of 250x250 µm and 1 µm lateral resolution. Instantaneous, coherence gated, quantitative phase imaging at high frame rates enables observations of the dynamics in cells and tissues, providing instant feedback on metabolic activity and tissue states. We demonstrate applications of the technology for ultrasensitive measurement of intracellular activity and cellular dynamics in cell cultures.
