Combining of Partial Images
In interferometric microscopy, the image of a micro-object is synthesized numerically as a coherent combination of partial images with registered amplitude and phase For registration of partial images, the conventional holographic set-up is used, with the reference wave, which is usual for the optical holography. The multiple exposition allows the numerical emulation of a large Numerical Aperture objective, at moderate values of the Numerical Aperture of the objective used to register partial images. Similar techniques allows scanning and precise detection of small particles. As the combined image keeps both amplitude and phase information, the interferometric microscopy can be especially efficient for the phase objects, allowing detection of light variations of index of refraction, which cause the phase shift or the light passing through for a small fraction of a radian.

Famous quotes containing the words combining, partial and/or images:
“Nature is not so much her own ever-sweet interpreter, as the mere supplier of that cunning alphabet, whereby selecting and combining as he pleases, each man reads his own peculiar lesson according to his own peculiar mind and mood.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“America is hard to see.
Less partial witnesses than he
In book on book have testified
They could not see it from outside....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“How clean the sun when seen in its idea,
Washed in the remotest cleanliness of a heaven
That has expelled us and our images . . .
The death of one god is the death of all.
Let purple Phoebus lie in umber harvest,
Let Phoebus slumber and die in autumn umber....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
