ABSTRACTFor appropriate treatments of infectious diseases, rapid identification of the pathogens is crucial. Here, we developed a rapid and label-free method for identifying common bacterial pathogens as individual bacteria by using three-dimensional quantitative phase imaging and deep learning. We achieved 95% accuracy in classifying 19 bacterial species by exploiting the rich information in three-dimensional refractive index tomograms with a convolutional neural network classifier. Extensive analysis of the features extracted by the trained classifier was carried out, which supported that our classifier is capable of learning species-dependent characteristics. We also confirmed that utilizing three-dimensional refractive index tomograms was crucial for identification ability compared to two-dimensional imaging. This method, which does not require time-consuming culture, shows high feasibility for diagnosing patients with infectious diseases who would benefit from immediate and adequate antibiotic treatment.

AbstractPlatelets, or thrombocytes, are anucleated tiny blood cells with an indispensable contribution to the hemostatic properties of whole blood, detecting injured sites at the surface of blood vessels and forming blood clots. Here, we quantitatively and non-invasively investigated the morphological and biochemical alterations of individual platelets during activation in the absence of exogenous agents by employing 3-D quantitative phase imaging (QPI). By reconstructing 3-D refractive index (RI) tomograms of individual platelets, we investigated alterations in platelet activation before and after the administration of various platelet agonists. Our results showed that while the integrity of collagen-stimulated platelets was preserved despite the existence of a few degranulated platelets with developed pseudopods, platelets stimulated by thrombin or thrombin receptor-activating peptide (TRAP) exhibited significantly lower cellular concentration and dry mass than did resting platelets. Our work provides a means to systematically investigate drug-respondents of individual platelets in a label-free and quantitative manner, and open a new avenue to the study of the activation of platelets.Abstract Figure

Phase Retrieval Algorithm

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) techniques are widely used for the label-free examining of transparent biological samples. QPI techniques can be broadly classified into interference-based and interferenceless methods. The interferometric methods which record the complex amplitude are usually bulky with many optical components and use coherent illumination. The interferenceless approaches which need only the intensity distribution and works using phase retrieval algorithms have gained attention as they require lesser resources, cost, space and can work with incoherent illumination. With rapid developments in computational optical techniques and deep learning, QPI has reached new levels of applications. In this tutorial, we discuss one of the basic optical configurations of a lensless QPI technique based on the phase-retrieval algorithm. Simulative studies on QPI of thin, thick, and greyscale phase objects with assistive pseudo-codes and computational codes in Octave is provided. Binary phase samples with positive and negative resist profiles were fabricated using lithography, and a single plane and two plane phase objects were constructed. Light diffracted from a point object is modulated by phase samples and the corresponding intensity patterns are recorded. The phase retrieval approach is applied for 2D and 3D phase reconstructions. Commented codes in Octave for image acquisition and automation using a web camera in an open source operating system are provided.
