A New 3D Simulation Method for the Construction of Optical Phase Contrast Images of Gold Nanoparticle Clusters in Biological Cells

Figure 7

Comparison of the geometrical cross sections at of the three OPCM images corresponding to phase delay between the reference and the diffracted beam (bottom row in Figure 6) in terms of optical contrast. The right-hand side graph illustrates the optical contrast enhancement due to the effect of the gold NP resonance at .
