3D scattering microphantom sample to assess quantitative accuracy in tomographic phase microscopy techniques

Optics 2022-08-22 v1

Abstract

In this paper we present a method to robustly evaluate the quantitative accuracy of various tomographic phase microscopy (TPM) methods with a multiple scattering 3D-printed microphantom with known geometry and refractive index distribution. We demonstrate this method by fabricating a multiple-scattering phantom and comparing 3D refractive index results that are output from three TPM reconstruction methods operating with visible and near-infrared wavelengths. One of these methods assumes the sample to be weak-scattering, while the other two take multiple scattering into account. This study can be readily extended to more complex microphantoms fabricated to more closely capture scattering characteristics of real-world scattering objects, such as tissue.
