The Role of QPI in Environmental Monitoring
AI summary Read the abstract
This review discussed applications of quantitative phase imaging (QPI) for environmental monitoring, demonstrating its ability to detect microplastics and heavy metals in water and characterize aquatic microorganisms affected by climate-driven changes.
we discuss QPI methods to study the health status of the environment. QPI can detect pollutants like microplastics and heavy metals, and characterize the primary microorganisms populating aquatic ecosystems, highlighting indirect consequences of climate change.
