Phase contrast imaging of red blood cells using digital holographic interferometric microscope

In this paper, digital holographic interferometric microscope (DHIM) in conjunction with Fresnel reconstruction method is demonstrated for phase contrast imaging of red blood cells (RBCs). The advantage of using the DHIM is that the distortions due to aberrations in the optical system are avoided by the interferometric comparison of reconstructed phase with and without the object.
