In this work, we introduce a technique capable of recovering both the refractive index and thickness maps of a cell using a single measurement in the form of a color photograph of the sample. Our method exploits the appearance of thin-film interference colors on a cell when placed on top of a suitable surface. An inverse search algorithm is used to map these colors to the refractive index and thickness values of each pixel in the image. Experimentally, we show the technique can achieve a 10-2 RIU sensitivity, sufficient to differentiate between cellular organelles.
