Digital micromirror device based angle-multiplexed optical diffraction tomography for high throughput 3D imaging of cells

The development of high throughput three-dimensional (3D) microscopic imaging technique is important for studying cell physiology and early-stage disease diagnoses. Here we propose and demonstrate a digital micromirror device (DMD) based angle-multiplexed high-speed optical diffraction tomography (ODT) technique. Using this ODT technique, we have achieved 3D imaging of cells at over 600 tomogram/second speed, which is 10-100 times faster than current ODTbased 3D cell imaging techniques. We envision that this high-speed ODT system will enable many cutting-edge biomedical applications, such as capturing millisecond scale cell dynamics in 3D space and high throughput 3D imaging of large cell populations.
