Abstract:
Summary Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) is an imaging technique, which can be applied to the visualisation and metrology of microscopic objects. It has been established in the frame of the DISCO project that DHM can be considered as an efficient method for direct comparison of the shape or deformations of two objects. “Comparison DHM” allows a straight comparison with a gauge provided by a manufacturer or customer. The phase subtraction between ideal and actual wavefront of the object provides data equivalent to those given by a Twyman–Green or a Mach–Zehnder interferometer.Keywords:

Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) is a future three-dimensional (3D) microscopy due to its high-resolution and high-precision 3D images. Thus, it is getting attention in bioinformatics, semiconductor defect detection, etc. However, some limitations still exist. Especially, high-speed holographic imaging requires high-power lasers, which are difficult to image on highly absorbent or light-sensitive samples. To overcome these issues, we propose a new, to the best of our knowledge, digital hologram recovery algorithm called angular spectrum matching (ASM), which achieves hologram imitation to recover holograms in digital holography at low light intensities. The hologram used for the background phase comparison is recorded without objects; thus, no power limitation is required. The ASM utilizes this background hologram to recover dark holograms. We present experimental results showing improved DHM numerical reconstructions and recovered holograms under extremely low light conditions.

Digital holography enables a multifocus quantitative phase microscopy for the investigation of reflective surfaces and for marker-free live cell imaging. For digital holographic long-term investigations of living cells an automated (subsequent) robust and reliable numerical focus adjustment is of particular importance. Four numerical methods for the determination of the optimal focus position in the numerical reconstruction and propagation of the complex object waves of pure phase objects are characterized, compared, and adapted to the requirements of digital holographic microscopy. Results from investigations of an engineered surface and human pancreas tumor cells demonstrate the applicability of Fourier-weighting- and gradient-operator-based methods for robust and reliable automated subsequent numerical digital holographic focusing.

Polychromatic digital holographic microscopy (P-DHM) has proven its capacity to provide quasi-coherent noise-free quantitative-phase images, allowing a high-quality visualization of cell structure. In this work we propose a fully automated hologram reconstruction methodology, including a fast-numerical approach for the correction of the defocusing resulting from both the axial chromatic aberrations as well as the fluctuations of the optomechanical elements. This methodology able to reconstruct a large number of holograms paves the way to develop a time-resolved P-DHM capable of non-invasively visualizing both the fine cell structure and dynamics.

Two schemes for digital holographic microscopy are explored. The goal is to revisit the issues that have hindered holographic microscopy since its earlier days, and find ways to overcome these difficulties. The first scheme discussed is a full-field holographic method that takes advantages of the properties of charge-coupled-device detectors, namely their high spatial as well as temporal bandwidths. The second scheme is based ona scanning holographic technique, and is shown to offer a wide range of possibilities such as enhanced transverse resolution, extended depth of focus, or axial sectioning. Both schemes are described, and some of their attributes and relative merits are discussed.
