Abstract

The Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) modeling technique is applied to study the effect of the cell membrane thickness in optical immersion enhanced phase contrast microscope imaging. The FDTD approach is also applied for studying the implementation of the optical immersion technique for the visualization of single and multiple gold nanoparticles in biological cells.
