Abstract
The preservation method to store bone tissue for posterior analysis is a widespread practice. However, the method's potential influence on the material's mechanical properties is often overlooked during single-point experimentation. Saline and formaldehyde solutions are the most common among the employed preservation media. A full field analysis of the mice femoral bone deformation using non-destructive optical techniques is conducted to assess the influence of the storage media on the viscoelastic properties of the tissue. Three different groups are subjected to a standard three-point bending test. The first group is the control, with fresh post-mortem samples. The second and third groups used saline and formaldehyde solutions, respectively. During the mechanical test, the bone's surface and internal deformation are monitored simultaneously using digital holographic interferometry and Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography. A mechanical comparison among the three groups is presented. The results show that after 48 h of immersion in saline solution, the mice bones keep their viscoelastic behavior similar to fresh bones. Meanwhile, 48 h in formaldehyde modifies the response and affects the marrow structure. The high sensitivity of the optical phase also makes it possible to observe changes in the anisotropy of the samples. As a comparison, Raman spectroscopy analyzes the three bone groups to prove that the preservation media does not affect a single-point inspection.

Abstract
The simultaneous surface and internal measurements from a chemically modified cortical bovine bone suffering a plastic range deformation are presented. Since the bone is an anisotropic structure, its mechanical response could be modified if its organic or inorganic phases change. The latter could result in high plastic deformations, where the interferometrical signal from an optical analysis is easily de-correlated. In this work, digital holography interferometry (DHI) and Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) are used to analyze the plastic range deformation of the bone under compression. The simultaneous use of these two optical methods gives information even when one of them de-correlates. The surface results retrieved with DHI show the high anisotropy of the bone as a continuously increasing displacement field map. Meanwhile, the internal information obtained with FD-OCT records larger deformations at different depths. Due to the optical phase, it is possible to complement the measurements of these two methods during the plastic deformation.

Abstract
Optical areal profilometry of large precision-engineered surfaces require high-resolution measurements over large fields of view. Synthetic Aperture Interferometry (SAI) offers an alternative to the conventional approach of stitching small fields of view (FOV) obtained with Coherent Scanning Interferometry (CSI) using high-NA objectives. In SAI, low-resolution digital holograms are recorded for different illumination and observation directions and they are added coherently to produce a high-resolution reconstruction over a large FOV. This paper describes the design, fabrication and characterization of a large FOV, compact and low-cost coherent imager (CI) as a building block of a coherent sensor array for a SAI system. The CI consists of a CMOS photodetector array with 1.12 µm pixel pitch, a square entrance pupil and a highly divergent reference beam that emerges from a pinhole milled with a focused ion beam on the cylindrical cladding at the tip of an optical fibre. In order to accurately reconstruct the digital holograms, the wavefront of the reference beam is estimated by localizing the reference source relative to the photodetector array. This is done using an optimization approach that simultaneously reconstructs plane waves that reach the aperture from 121 different illumination directions and guarantees a phase root-mean-squared (RMS) error of less than a fifth of the wavelength across the CI entrance pupil at a boundary of the FOV. The CI performance is demonstrated with a holographic reconstruction of a 0.110 m wide object placed at a distance of 0.085 m, i.e. a FOV = ±0.57 rad, the highest reported to date with a holographic camera.

Abstract
An interferometer with a minimum of optical hardware is employed to measure invasiveness the size of biological samples. Nowadays, there are several techniques in microscopy that render high quality resolved images. For instance, consider optical microscopy that has been around for over a century and has since developed in different configurations such as: bright and dark field, phase contrast, confocal, polarized, and so on. However, only a few of these use interferometry to retrieve not only the sample's amplitude but also its phase. An interesting example of the latter is digital holography which normally uses a Mach Zehnder interferometer setup. In the research work reported here a transmission digital holographic interferometer designed with a simple and minimal optical hardware, that avoids the drawback of the small field of view present in classical optical microscopic systems, is used to measure the microscopic dimensions of pollen grains. This optical configuration can be manipulated to magnify and project the image of a semitransparent sample over a neutral phase screen. The use of a collimated beam through the sample prevents geometrical distortions for high magnification values. The measurements using this novel configuration have been validated using a standard precision pattern displacement specimen with certified dimensions. As proof of principle, microscopically characterized pollen grains are placed in the transmission set up in order to estimate their dimensions from the interferometrically retrieved optical phase. Results match and thus show a relation between the sample's size and the optical phase magnitude.

Abstract
Intramedullary nailing is a routine orthopedic procedure used for treating fractures of femoral or tibial shafts. A critical part of this procedure involves the drilling of pilot holes in both ends of the bone for the placement of the screws that will secure the IM rod to sections of the fractured bone. This step introduces a risk of soft tissue damage because the drill bit, if not stopped in time, can transverse the bone-tissue boundary into the overlying muscle, causing unnecessary injury and prolonging healing time due to periosteum damage. In this respect, detecting the bone-tissue boundary before break-through can reduce the risks and complications associated with intramedullary nailing. Hence, in the present study, a two-wavelength diffuse reflectance spectroscopy technique was integrated into a surgical drill to optically detect bone-tissue boundary and automatically trigger the drill to stop. Furthermore, Monte-Carlo simulations were used to estimate the maximum distance from within the bone at which the bone-tissue boundary could be detected using DRS. The simulation results estimated that the detection distance, termed the "look-ahead-distance" was ∼1.5 mm for 1.3 mm source-detector fiber separation. Experimental measurements with 1.3 mm source-detector fiber separation showed that the look-ahead-distance was in the order of 250 µm in experiments with set drill rate and in the range of 1 mm in experiments where the holes were drilled by hand. Despite this difference, the automated DRS enhanced drill successfully detected the approaching bone tissue boundary when tested on samples of bovine femur and muscle tissue.

Abstract
This paper aims to provide an effective measurement method for the distribution of deformations and strains focusing on the response to external loading of bone-implant interfaces. To achieve this target, a novel speckle interference imaging method is proposed by introducing phosphate buffer saline medium, in which the samples were completely placed into a phosphate buffer saline solution medium to stable the water molecules. The stability of interferometry imaging is analyzed by using the concepts of co-occurrence matrix and moment of inertia. A series of experiments to measure load-driven deformation and strain in the bone-implant interface was carried out, and the experiments results were analyzed and discussed. It shows that the proposed method is feasible and effective for the no-contact strain measurements of biomaterials in a physiological condition. The proposed strain distribution sensing system will contribute to evaluating computational simulations and improving selection of implant designs and materials.

Abstract
It is now accepted that bone strength is a complex property determined mainly by three factors: quantity, quality and turnover of the bone itself. Most of the patients who experience fractures due to fragility could never develop affectations related to bone mass density (i.e. osteoporosis). In this work, the effect of secondary bone strength affectations are analyzed by simulating the degradation of one or more principal components (organic and inorganic) while they are inspected with a nondestructive optical technique. From the results obtained, a strong correlation among the hydroxyapatite, collagen and water is found that determines the bone strength.
