Real Time 3-D Cytomorphological Imaging Using Digital Holographic Microscopy and Fluorescence Microscopy for Space Biology

A microscope operating in Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM) and classical widefield epi-fluorescence microscopy in a time sequential manner is developed to study morphological alterations of mouse myoblast cells under simulated microgravity in real time.
