Label-free, three-dimensional (3D) quantitative observations of on-chip vasculogenesis were achieved using optical diffraction tomography. Exploiting 3D refractive index maps as an intrinsic imaging contrast, the vascular structures, multicellular activities, and subcellular organelles of endothelial cells were imaged and analysed throughout vasculogenesis to characterise mature vascular networks without exogenous labelling.
