Abstract
Moving towards label-free techniques for cell identification is essential for many clinical and research applications. Raman spectroscopy and digital holographic microscopy (DHM) are both label-free, non-destructive optical techniques capable of providing complimentary information. We demonstrate a multi-modal system which may simultaneously take Raman spectra and DHM images to provide both a molecular and a morphological description of our sample. In this study we use Raman spectroscopy and DHM to discriminate between three immune cell populations CD4+ T cells, B cells, and monocytes, which together comprise key functional immune cell subsets in immune responses to invading pathogens. Various parameters that may be used to describe the phase images are also examined such as pixel value histograms or texture analysis. Using our system it is possible to consider each technique individually or in combination. Principal component analysis is used on the data set to discriminate between cell types and leave-one-out cross-validation is used to estimate the efficiency of our method. Raman spectroscopy provides specific chemical information but requires relatively long acquisition times, combining this with a faster modality such as DHM could help achieve faster throughput rates. The combination of these two complimentary optical techniques provides a wealth of information for cell characterisation which is a step towards achieving label free technology for the identification of human immune cells.
