Abstract

We applied an ellipsometric technique to get quantitative information about the thickness and refractive index of human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSCs). The images of ellipsometric constants $\Delta$, $\Psi$ for the nucleus region and for the cell body region of hMSCs were obtained by using an Imaging Ellipsomter (IE) for their in vitro state. A numerical inversion method was applied to deduce the refractive index and the thickness of hMSCs from the measured $\Delta$, $\Psi$. Thus the images of the refractive index and those of the thickness of hMSCs for the nucleus region and for the cell body region are reported.

타원법을 사용하여 인간 중간엽 줄기세포의 광학상수와 두께의 영상정보를 정량적으로 구하였다. 영상 타원계를 이용하여 in vitro 환경에서 세포의 핵(nucleus)과 세포체(cell body)의 타원상수 $\Delta$, $\Psi$를 2차원 영상정보 형태로 구한 다음 각 화소별로 타원상수들을 수치해석적 역방계산하여 굴절률과 두께의 영상정보를 얻었다. 세포의 핵 영역과 세포체 영역에서 줄기세포의 두께와 굴절률 값을 2차원 영상정보 형태로 제시하였다.
