Real-time non-invasive 3D identification of cells and micro/nano organism using information photonics

The paper presents the application of digital holography microscopy (DHM) for non-invasive realtime 3D sensing, recognition, and tracking of microorganisms such as cells without the need for staining or destroying the cells. 3D optical imaging and information photonics provide a rich content for applying different mathematical methods for detection and recognition of biological microorganisms, and the applications range from detection of diseased cells, marker-less cell sorting, pathogen identification, etc.
