“…DHM is a noncontact, nondestructive and nonscanning technique for quantitative phase imaging, therefore, suitable for retrieving the morphology of biological samples and surface topography of reflective ones. 42 We have already applied DHM for 3D visualisation of myelin figures and their dynamics under thermal gradients, 43 changes in their environmental humidity, 44 studying microstructural surface characterisation, 45 evaluation of intergranular corrosion of stainless steel, 46,47 microparticle sedimentation, 48 and 3D characterisation of nanocomposites. 39,49 In DHM, phase information of an object is preserved through recording the interference between a laser beam passing through the object, so-called object beam and a beam from the same laser source, so-called reference beam, on a digital sensor.…”
