Refractive index tomograms and dynamic membrane fluctuations of red blood cells from patients with diabetes mellitus

Abstract In this paper, we present the optical characterisations of diabetic red blood cells (RBCs) in a non-invasive manner employing three-dimensional (3-D) quantitative phase imaging. By measuring 3-D refractive index tomograms and 2-D time-series phase images, the morphological (volume, surface...
