Abstract
Whole slide imaging scans a microscope slide into a high-resolution digital image, and it paves the way from pathology to digital diagnostics. However, most of them rely on bright-field and fluorescence imaging with sample labels. In this work, we designed sPhaseStation, which is a dual-view transport of intensity phase microscopy-based whole slide quantitative phase imaging system for label-free samples. sPhaseStation relies on a compact microscopic system with two imaging recorders that can capture both under and over-focus images. Combined with the field of view (FoV) scan, a series of these defocus images in different FoVs can be captured and stitched into two FoV-extended under and over-focus ones, which are used for phase retrieval via solving the transport of intensity equation. Using a ${{10}} \times$ micro-objective, sPhaseStation reaches the spatial resolution of 2.19 µm and obtains the phase with high accuracy. Additionally, it acquires a whole slide image of a ${{3}}\;{\rm{mm}} \times {{3}}\;{\rm{mm}}$ region in 2 min. The reported sPhaseStation could be a prototype of the whole slide quantitative phase imaging device, which may provide a new perspective for digital pathology.
