From genotype to phenotype: decoding mutations in blasts by holo-tomographic flow cytometry by Daniele Pirone, Concetta Di Natale, Maria Di Summa, Nicola Mosca, Giusy Giugliano, Michela Schiavo, Daniele Florio, Daniela Marasco, Pier Luca Maffettone, Lisa Miccio, Pasquale Memmolo, Pietro Ferraro

“…Holographic tomography (HT) can offer a label-free solution for quantitatively assessing the 3D shape of the nucleus based on the volumetric variations of its refractive indices (RIs). However, traditional HT methods analyze adherent cells in a 2D layer, leading to non-isotropic reconstructions due to missing cone artifacts. …”

Galli, Gerhard Grübel, Anders Madsen, Robert E. Grisenti

“…The preservation of angular information from the scattering signal allows probing the structure factor along selected directions in reciprocal space and identifying signatures undetectable in azimuthally integrated scattering curves. Therefore, more information from serial diffraction experiments on stochastic crystallization processes can be retrieved despite the inherent variation of the crystal orientation and morphology for each single probe. …”
