We explored the capabilities of quantitative phase imaging (QPI) with digital holographic microscopy (DHM) to quantify nanoparticle-induced tissue alterations and the performance of DHM QPI for imaging hematoxylin-eosin-stained samples. In a pilot study, paraffin and cryosections from nanomaterial-laden rat lungs and vehicle-treated control tissue were analyzed. Our results from rat lungs show that the tissue average refractive index and morphology parameters extracted from QPI images allow the quantification of visible tissue changes due to toxic nanomaterials. Moreover, our results demonstrate that DHM with near-infrared laser light enables high quality QPI of samples with common histology staining.
