On the Cover

Standard bright field microscope image of red blood cells (left). The refractive index of the specimen is reconstructed as a color map (right) from intensity disturbances recorded with a digital camera along the optical axis. The map shows regions of both high (red) and low (blue) refractive index. Selected for a Synopsis in Physics.
