Abstract in brief

DIC microscopy is a technique that provides high-contrast, low-phototoxicity, and label-free imaging of transparent biological samples, useful in various applications like cell morphology and particle tracking.
Current commercial DIC systems face limitations in imaging due to their reliance on prisms, which result in anisotropic contrast.
The proposed isotropic DIC (i-DIC) microscopy uses advanced metasurface technology to achieve isotropic imaging, allowing for improved capabilities in edge detection and cellular imaging while integrating traditional and modern optical systems.
