This video shows the cilia of a paramecium moving measured using the 4D Technology BioCam.
The 3D surface topographic maps which comprise the video were obtained at 15fps and 50X magnification. Cilia motion is quantifiable from time series image sequences.
The image strip below shows the paramecium using various BioCam Quantitative Phase Microscope imaging modes: (a) Phase contrast. (b) DIC. (c) Dark field. (d) OT. (e) OT/DIC Composite. (f) 3D OT topography.
