  Phase-contrast tomographic flow cytometry combines quantitative 3D analysis
of unstained single cells and high-throughput. A crucial issue of this method
is the storage and management of the huge amount of 3D tomographic data. Here
we show an effective quasi lossless compression of tomograms data through 3D
Zernike descriptors, unlocking data management tasks and computational
pipelines that were unattainable until now.
