High-throughput intrinsic single-cell phenotyping by quantitative asymmetric-detection time-stretch optical microscopy (Q-ATOM)

We demonstrate quantitative-phase asymmetric-detection time-stretch optical microscopy (Q-ATOM) for ultra-high-throughput label-free image-based single-cell classification and phenotyping at an ultrafast imaging line-scan rate of 11.6 MHz (~120,000 cells/sec).
