Abstract
This paper reports the measurement of single living cells' refractive index (RI) using a Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity with buffer modulation of microfluidic chip. In the experiment, a single cell is captured in the cavity, and then the spectral shift in response to the buffer change with the presence/absence of cell can be used to determine the cell's RI and size. The microfluidic chip facilitates automatic detection and makes it promising for label-free drug screening.
