Cell cycle imaging with quantitative differential interference contrast microscopy

Abstract: We report a microscopic approach for determining cell cycle stages by measuring the nuclear optical path length (OPL) with quantitative differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy. The approach is validated by the excellent agreement between the proportion of proliferating-to-quiescent cancerous breast epithelial cells obtained from DIC microscopy, and that from a standard immunofluorescence assay.

“…Tools such as phase contrast, differential interference contrast (DIC), and fluorescence microscopy are in widespread use in bioimaging applications. While not chemically specific, quantitative phase contrast (4-7) and DIC (8,9) can be used, apart from structural investigations, to quantitatively determine dry mass distribution in cell biology studies. On the other hand, fluorescence based methods which are chemically specific due to the selectivity of fluorophore binding sites can be applied in several ways, some of them offering super-resolution down to the 10 nm range.…”

“…20 A fundamental process underlying the proliferation of cell populations, the cell cycle has been studied using methods such as fluorescence microscopy , 21 quantitative phase contrast , 22,23 and DIC . 24 These methods are either invasive (introduction of extraneous labels as in fluorescence microscopy) or lack chemical specificity. The cell cycle comprises two stages, interphase and mitosis.…”
