A quantitative 3D motility analysis of Trypanosoma brucei by use of digital in-line holographic microscopy.

We present a quantitative 3D analysis of the motility of the blood parasite Trypanosoma brucei. Digital in-line holographic microscopy has been used to track single cells with high temporal and spatial accuracy to obtain quantitative data on their behavior. Comparing bloodstream form and insect form...
