Multi-spectral microscopic imaging spanning the visible and short-wave infrared range

A device for imaging of a microscopic object, the device comprising:

• an array of light sensitive areas, each of the light sensitive areas being sensitive to detect light spanning a wavelength range of at least 400-1200 nm,
• at least one light source configured to generate light at a plurality of wavelengths within the wavelength range, the plurality of wavelengths comprising at least one wavelength in a visible part of the wavelength range and at least one wavelength in a short-wave infrared, SWIR, part of the wavelength range, and arranged to illuminate the microscopic object with the generated light such that at least part of the light is scattered by the microscopic object, forming scattered light;
• wherein the device is configured to transmit the scattered light and non-scattered light, from the same light source, to the array of light sensitive areas, wherein the array of light sensitive areas is configured to detect an interference pattern formed by interference between the scattered light and the non-scattered light, for each wavelength in the plurality of wavelengths.
