Digital Holographic Microscopes: Design, Characterization, and Image Reconstruction
Rossi, Vincent M.
Über dieses Buch
Digital holography has evolved as a robust and informative means of microscopy. This Spotlight begins with an introduction to digital holographic microscopy via a brief history of holography. The second chapter discusses the different options and modalities available when designing a digital holographic microscope (DHM), including advantages and disadvantages with respect to specific applications. The resolution and performance of a DHM depends on the detector specifications, which are addressed in the third chapter. The fourth and fifth chapters describe the design of a DHM and digital Fourier holographic microscope, respectively. The final chapter briefly covers a few advanced applications of DHMs. Modeled and physical images are provided as examples. Some advanced mathematics is necessary for holographic reconstruction, although it is reduced here to the most crucial equations. In addition, familiarity with a scientific computing language and basic image processing are necessary to apply the methods discussed herein.
