The characterisation of the dynamical properties of living matter plays an important role in unraveling its complexity. Here we present the combination of quantitative phase imaging with differential dynamic microscopy in order to probe and evaluate its inherent density fluctuations. By employing theoretical models, this approach allows for the determination of the time- and length scale dependent viscoelastic properties of optically transparent systems as demonstrated for high speed supernatant (HSS) Xenopus laevis egg extract. We find that HSS exhibits distinct dynamics at two time scales which can be explained by diffusion in a diffusing potential.
