Systems and methods for biological optical imaging with artificial particles references

Abstract

Systems and methods for use with a biological sample include a microscopy device, a diluent, a sample holder, and one or more of lyophilized cakes comprising artificial particles. The lyophilized cakes and the biological sample are mixed with the diluent in the sample holder to form a solution. The biological sample is imaged with the artificial particles as reference markers using the microscopy device. A settling time of the artificial particles is shorter than or equal to a settling time of the biological sample.
