Abstract
The computational power required to classify diffraction pattern images of biological cells is a major limit to the implementation of fast label-free cell sorting based on digital holographic microscopy. This work aims to demonstrate that the performance of a computationally cheap linear classifier can be significantly improved by the scattering action of a simple collection of integrated dielectric pillars. FDTD simulations show that the error of cell classification based on nucleus size can be decreased by a factor 5 when dielectric scatterers are employed and cells are made to flow in a suitable optical cavity.
