IATIA was (is?) an Australian company that was selling a program to do
quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) using three
brightfield images (in focus + above and below focus). What ever
happened to them, and is the software (or software that does something
similar) available?

Aryeh,

Many labs use TIE, and you might be able to get a Matlab code from one of them

Hi Aryeh and Michael,

Matlab code for TIE (transport of intensity equation) is in the
supplemental downloads of Philips KG ... McCarty OJ 2014,

http://www.jove.com/video/50988/quantitative-optical-microscopy-measurement-cellular-biophysical

that group has published several quantitative phase microscopy (QPm)
papers. I note that one condition is to use the condenser at a low NA
setting, compared to the NA of the objective lens.

IATIA has been part of Ultima Capital Investments Pty Ltd for years.
http://www.ultimacapital.net/iatiaimaging/about_us1.htm

The IATIA/Ultima has been inside the GE IN Cell 1000
http://www.ultimacapital.net/iatiaimaging/product_applications.htm
and possibly later models (maybe 2200, 6000) as the (synthetic) DIC and
phase contrast. From my extremely limited experience with the IN Cell
(Applied Precision/GE bus visited parked outside our building in Miami
for a day or two several years ago), the user could choose between
(synthetic) DIC or Phase contrast images, but could not readily obtain
the QPm data ... even though that would be much more useful in my
opinion than pseudo-DIC or pseudo-phase.

Several other groups have "done" QPm, such as Gabriel Popescu (UIUC),
the late Michael Feld (popescu is a spin-off). There are also related
techniques that provide similar answers (optical path length, refractive
index, dry mass), such as Ovizio differential digital holography
microscopy, http://www.ovizio.com/en/Technology

enjoy,
George

You can download it from Laura Waller's lab web site. We also work with TIE but I need to ask permission of the person who gave it to me before I can pass it on

Thank you for your quick replies.

Thank you for the pointer. I always wondered why i did not see this
implemented more widely (eg in ImageJ or as part of
many open source packages available). Maybe now I will find out...

Best regards
