“…In this regard, applications to digital holographic microscopy are worth mentioning, where partially coherent illumination effectively suppresses the coherent speckled noise inherent in laser sources, as well as multiple reflection fringes [143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151][152]. This is definitely an asset for applications such as improved three-dimensional imaging [143], pattern recognition [144], three-dimensional particle flow analysis [146], characterization of deformable objects [147] and studies of vesicle suspensions in shear flow [150], to name a few. Digital holographic microscopy with partially coherent illumination has been originally demonstrated with filtered white LEDs [143].…”
