title: An improved technique for optical interferometric imaging of isolated cells.
abstract: We have improved the optical interferometric imaging technique that was recently used to measure local organic material concentrations in quasicylindrical cells. This allowed similar measurements for cells of arbitrary shape. The setup was used to measure the thickness of skin corneocytes.
