Abstract

A holographic imaging device is disclosed. In one aspect, the holographic imaging device comprises an imaging unit comprising at least two light sources, wherein the imaging unit is configured to illuminate an object by emitting at least two light beams with the at least two light sources. A first and second light beams have different wave-vectors and wavelengths. The holographic imaging device further comprises a processing unit configured to obtain at least two holograms of the object by controlling the imaging unit to sequentially illuminate the object with respectively the first light beam and the second light beam, construct at least two 2D image slices based on the at least two holograms, wherein each 2D image slice is constructed at a determined depth within the object volume, and generate a three-dimensional image of the object based on a combination of the 2D image slices.
