The DHM technique brings unique possibilities for biological sample investigations. It is non invasive (there is no need for a contrast agent), and light intensities are 100'000 times lower than those of confocal microscopes. The DHM technique also permits real-time monitoring and the separation of morphology and refractive index.

DHM can be completed with a fluorescence module which allows the simultaneous combination of shape and concentration investigations with  fluorescence information.

Numerous applications are possible in cellular biology, diagnostics, genomics, and proteomics, as well as in the food industry, for example, for systematic screening.
