AI Technical Summary
Existing digital holographic microscopes have limited depth measurement ranges, especially when measuring cells and solids in fluids, due to the limitations of single-wavelength interferometers, which restrict the uniqueness range of measurements.
A digital holographic microscope system that uses a birefringent plate to generate different beam offsets and polarization directions, creating distinct fringe patterns for enhanced uniqueness range without requiring additional wavelengths.
The system achieves an extended measurement range with minimal additional components, allowing for high-resolution, high-contrast imaging of biological and medical samples, including cells and fluids, by adjusting intensity ratios and fringe patterns.
