Abstract

A holographic imaging device for imaging an object under study includes a partially reflective surface having a contact side for contacting the object under study and an imaging side for partially reflecting a radiation wave. The device also includes at least one radiation source for projecting the radiation wave onto the imaging side of the partially reflective surface and an image sensor arranged to receive the radiation wave when reflected by the partially reflective surface. The image sensor is adapted for determining an interference pattern between the radiation wave reflected by the imaging side of the partially reflective surface and the radiation wave reflected by the object under study when contacting the contact side of the partially reflective surface.
